Mudd Nick Foundation
Our mission is to broaden the horizons of all children in North Tillamook County through programs in collaboration with our community partners.
The purpose of the Mudd Nick Foundation is to provide learning experiences that stimulate children to aspire to their greatest potential and pursue their dreams.
Our vision is that the children in our community become life-long stellar citizens who expand their life experiences, minds, and curiosities; accept responsibility for their actions; treat themselves and others with respect; maintain high personal integrity; exhibit socially-accepted behavior; and have fun participating in the programs.
The Mudd Nick Foundation’s roots trace back to 1987 when Jim Mudd and Doug Nicholson met on the golf course in Manzanita. In 1988, they created the Mudd Nick Invitational, a coed golf tournament that quickly became a beloved community tradition.
In 1996, the event expanded its mission by raising funds to support local initiatives. A decade later, in 2006, the Mudd Nick Foundation was officially established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. With the formation of a dedicated board of directors, the Foundation began crafting a clear vision, mission, guiding principles, and objectives to steer its future.
Over the past two decades, the Foundation has raised over $3.65 million, supporting more than 60 educational programs each year for students in the Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56.
