OWEB is one of the most accountable agencies in the state. They always pass their state audit, and all the documents are publicly available. They document grant funds awarded down to the penny. Many watershed councils use a public bid process and have open meetings.

For many of us, the heart of Oregon is our incredible natural resources and state parks. We protect these resources with a relatively small investment of state funds and a lot of hard work and love from dedicated volunteers and the organizations that support them. Lottery dollars do more than just help parks and natural area, they help to build community. These funds bring in a lot of match dollars from outside grant sources that are then spent locally on projects important to communities all over Oregon.
