Since March 2014, the foundation has been an approved
501(c)3 nonprofit corporation.

One of the Foundation’s first major contributors was Ziba
Design, which made a contribution as as part of its participation
in the Architecture Program at Benson Tech, which was brought
back into the curriculum in Fall 2014 through an Oregon State
CTE Grant.

Since then, the Foundation has supported the Benson Tech SkillsUSA competition with a contribution of $600 to the team
of Allison Plager, Andy Lai and Brian Moreno, led by teacher
Cathy Skach.

The Foundation has also been recognized by United Way, so
contributors can direct their United Way donations to the Benson
Tech Foundation.
