ONREA Fall Conference October 5
FNRL is using Snap! Raise as our online fundraising platform this fall. Snap! Raise is the nation's leading fundraising platform for school groups, clubs, and teams, and everything happens online - there is no door-to-door selling.
How it works:
Your student joins the FNRL fundraiser through the Snap! Mobile app, or at join.snap.app, using our group join code: 535292842
Students add 20 email addresses and phone numbers of likely supporters - grandparents, aunts and uncles, family friends, neighbors, and school alumni
Snap! Raise sends the donation requests and handles the rest
Students should be signed up by October 14.
Parents and guardians can follow along without joining the campaign. Watch for an email from Snap! Raise with access to the parent/guardian portal.

Your student's privacy matters. Snap! Raise does not sell or share student, donor, or program data. You can read their privacy policy at www.snapraise.com/disclosures/privacy-policy/
I can also personally testify to the minimal amount of contact from SNAP. Emails and texts are limited to campaigns, and they do not send additional donation requests once the campaign has ended.
Questions? Contact Rex Lowther, FNRL Executive Director, at rlowther@oregonfnrl.org or 541-760-2857.
Bonus: At the end of the fundraising campaign, the FNRL Team Gear Store will open. Anyone can buy gear and we get a portion of the proceeds.
FNRL is a student leadership organization for young people who love the outdoors, natural resources, and forestry. Our chapters live in high school natural resources programs, and our students compete, earn certifications, and build real career skills.
Donations to this campaign help pay for:
Career Development Events where students compete in forestry and timber skills like log scaling, tool identification, tree climbing, and first aid
Industry certifications: Students can earn a Forest Operator Certificate from Associated Oregon Loggers.
Travel and field trips, so cost is never the reason a student has to stay home
Our goal for this campaign is $10,000, and every dollar goes to the students. FNRL is a 501(c)(3), and all of your donations are fully tax-deductible.
Students and schools compete for prizes while they raise money for FNRL programs.
Prizes:
Top student overall: $100 Amazon gift card
Top student at each participating school: $25 Amazon gift card
Top school overall: $300 FNRL chapter grant for program supplies or student travel
How it works:
You must be on your school's official Snap! Raise roster before the campaign closes. You compete only for the school shown on that roster.
Results are based on the final donations Snap! Raise credits to each student and school. Tips, canceled donations, refunds, and chargebacks do not count.
Student prizes require at least $100 raised. The school prize requires at least five participating students and $500 raised. If no one reaches a minimum, that prize is not awarded.
If the top student overall is also the top student at their school, the $25 school prize passes to the next-highest student at that school - one more student wins.
Ties: the student with more individual donors wins; if still tied, tied students split equal-value gift cards. For schools, the school with more students who raised at least $100 wins; if still tied, the schools split the $300 grant.
The leaderboard freezes when the campaign closes. Winners are announced within 10 days after closing, once refunds and payment corrections settle. Prizes are delivered through school advisors.
The challenge runs from October 15, 2026 to November 12, 2026. Questions about the rules? Contact Rex Lowther at rlowther@oregonfnrl.org or 541-760-2857.
