What they do
We Hold An Annual Event In Central Oregon East of Prineville, OR. This Event Provides An Opportunity for Amateur Astronomers to Gather In A Dark Site Location. With Increasing Amounts of Light Pollution, It is Becoming More Difficult to See The Night Sky. Most Metropolitan Areas Have So Much Light Pollution That This Type of Observing is Not Available. There Are Daytime Activities Such As Speakers, Telescope Walkabout, Youth Activities, As Well As The Main Activity of Observing Through Some Type of Astronomical Instrument. We Operate Under A US Forest Service Permit On Totally Unimproved Lands. We Bring In 100% of All Facilities Such As Our Activities Tent, Registration Tent, and Portable Toilets. This Year Had 301 Registration From All Over The Pacific NW As Well As The Rest of The Country.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
