In 2009, with generous donations, the board created the Beryl Brinkman Memorial Fund, an endowed fund managed by the Oregon Community Foundation. The fund was created to honor the memory of the late Ms. Beryl Brinkman, a founding member of WCPCA. Annual distributions from the fund may be used only to support humanitarian projects.
In 2011 the board organized a local celebration of the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Peace Corps.
