Rose City Astronomers: Donating to RCA

Rose City Astronomers

Donations to the RCA Observing Site Fund

The Rose City Astronomers, a non-profit 501(c)(3) club, is pursuing a dream to own an observing site. Our vision is:

Securing and managing a variety of observing sites for private use by members, for community outreach and special events organized by the RCA.

We are currently engaged in a capital fundraising campaign to raise money to secure one or more observing sites for our Club to use for public events, and members to use whenever they desire. Dubbed the M-110 Campaign - our goal is $110,000.

Visit the Observing Site Project Page for more information.
