Help Keep Skilled Trades Strong in Our Community

Donation protected
We are skilled stone craftsman working to secure critical jobs and skills in rural Oregon.

Umpqua Stone is a tech-driven stone fabrication shop built on precision, skill, and hard work. What comes out of this shop isn’t mass-produced—it’s carefully measured, cut, finished, and installed by people who know their craft.

We’re the employees who run this place every day. We work with our hands, we solve problems on the floor, and we take pride in doing the job right. Now, we have the opportunity to buy the business ourselves and transition it to employee ownership.

This fundraiser is about backing local people who do real work.

Employee ownership allows us to:
  • Keep decision-making with the people who actually build the products
  • Create solid, long-term trade jobs in our community
  • Strengthen a local business instead of sending customers out of the area

Supporting this effort means supporting skilled trades, local jobs, and a shop that contributes directly to the local economy—not just today, but for years to come.

Funds raised will help us complete the purchase and build a sustainable, employee-owned business we’re proud to stand behind.

If you believe in supporting hardworking people, skilled trades, and locally owned businesses, we’d be grateful for your support. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page helps just as much.

Thank you for standing with local workers and local craftsmanship.
