Donate to help us win
Donations help us win through campaign advertising, lawn signs, banners, contributions to candidates, and lobbying.
Wear the message, and place brochures, lawn signs, and banners
You can get merchandise in return for donations! Wear the merchandise to spread the message!
You can purchase brochures, visit shops, and ask their permission to place a stack of brochures in a shop. Or you can download our brochure and print it yourself. If you spend money in a county that has an active campaign, please report it to us promptly to comply with Oregon campaign finance law.
You can purchase a 3’x6′ banner and place it where it’s visible to drivers.
If you live where a county will be voting, contact us to get lawn signs or banners for free. Let us know of good locations to put signs and banners where there is good traffic.
MOST IMPORTANT:
Contact state legislators
The first step is to email and call your state senator or state rep (not US senator or US rep) or send them a letter. Your state senator and state rep are almost obligated to make time for meeting with you if your schedule is flexible.

Fundraising Networking
Do you know a business owner or multi-millionaire? Do you have connections with corporations that would benefit from the relocation of the Oregon/Idaho border?
We’d like to connect with eastern & southern Oregon businesses who understand that Idaho’s business climate would be better for them. For example: the timber, mining, and ag industry.
Ask your contacts to find the ones who’d be willing to receive a call from us, about the possibility of partnering with us financially. Once you have their permission,contact us to give us their phone number.
Understand our Strategy
Here’s a quick overview of the steps we need to take
Move an organization's boundary
Another way to signal support for Greater Idaho is to convince an organization to include eastern Oregon into the Idaho division of that organization instead of the Oregon division. For example, can you start an effort to convince eastern Oregon women’s sports teams to join the Idaho league instead of the Oregon League to avoid the males who want to compete with women? Another example would be the Grange. Wouldn’t you rather have your state convention in Boise rather than in western Oregon?
Get Greater Idaho on a Party Platform
Consider becoming a PCP (precinct person) and getting involved in the process for creating or voting on your political party’s platform, to add a plank in favor of the Greater Idaho idea.
Find new allies for Greater Idaho
One reason legislators have not yet acted is that they haven’t seen expressions of support from social organizations, businesses and business organizations, and donors. Can you help reverse that? Think about what organizations you’re a member of. Maybe some statewide organizations are wary of supporting our movement because they’re afraid they’ll alienate some constituents. But not all organizations are statewide. Ask your local chapter of the organization to express support for Greater Idaho and let us know about it.
Become a Volunteer
Do you have several hours a week to help this movement in other ways? contact us with your ideas of how you can help. We don’t know you so we don’t know what you’re good at.
If you decide to do something, let us know. Maybe we can provide some resources or invite our other volunteers to join you.
Gilliam, Umatilla County residents:
It’s too early to get on the ballot. Crook County will vote in 2024. We need to save Gilliam and Umatilla counties for later so that we’ll have momentum when we need it.
