THE ROUNDHOUSE FOUNDATION

The Roundhouse Foundation (Community Organization). The Roundhouse Foundation,

founded by local artist Kathy Deggendorfer, began offering grants for educational and

community efforts in Sisters in 2002. Since that time, the Foundation has grown in size and

scope and now supports creative solutions for challenges across Oregon’s rural and

Indigenous communities.

The Foundation is still headquartered in Sisters located on the historic Pine Meadow Ranch

Center for Arts & Agriculture, a 260-acre, working, regenerative ranch just south of town.

In addition to the land serving as a living laboratory, the Foundation hosts artists, scholars,

and conservationists every year to be inspired by the area and, in turn, to inspire the

community.

For the past several years, the Roundhouse Foundation has dedicated itself to improving the

lives of rural Oregonians and the environment. Those who attended school in Sisters, or

enjoyed the Sisters Folk Festival, experienced the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, or explored

the High Desert Museum, are among the thousands who have benefitted from the extensive

efforts and generosity of the Roundhouse Foundation.
