Thayer Family Foundation
J. Thayer Company proudly gives back to the Thayer Family Foundation, established in honor of the late Brigadier General James B. Thayer. Thayer was a widely respected leader in Oregon's business, philanthropic, and political communities. The Foundation was formed to fund and support the needs of Oregon veterans, military personnel, and first responders, but also those dedicated to societal and culturally significant fields such as educators, musicians, and artists.
J. Thayer Company Owner and President John Thayer serves as the Foundation's Treasurer along with his two brothers and sister-in-law.
