Announcing the Sharon M. Harmon Endowed Fund

To honor her 36 years of service, Oregon Humane proudly named a portion of our endowment as a lasting tribute to her legacy of service to animals in Oregon and beyond. The Sharon M. Harmon Endowed Fund will support a future of continued impact for animals for many years to come.  

Sharon Harmon’s Lasting Legacy for Oregon’s Animals 

In March 2025, Sharon Harmon retired from her role of President & CEO after 36 years of leading the largest animal welfare organization in the Northwest.

During her time at Oregon Humane, Sharon became one of the most respected leaders within the animal welfare industry. She deepened Oregon Humane’ impact on animals by expanding our facilities, building lasting partnerships across Oregon, and fighting for some of the toughest animal protection laws in the country.  

Endowed Gifts Last Forever 

Gifts to Oregon Humane’ endowment are carefully invested to ensure lasting impact. Each year, a portion of the fund supports Oregon Humane’ current priorities, while the rest continues to grow. Because the endowment is permanent, your gift helps Oregon Humane now and well into the future.
