**What is the N.I.C.E. Foundation and what does it do?**

The N.I.C.E. Foundation stands for New Initiative Community Enhancement. We are a rural Oregon nonprofit focused on community revitalization through historic preservation, land stewardship, and workforce development. Our work includes restoring and repurposing historic spaces, protecting natural landscapes, and creating hands-on opportunities tied to local identity and long-term resilience. 

**Can you tell me more about your key projects, such as The Oaks Legacy Ranch and History City?**

Certainly! The Oaks Legacy Ranch is our flagship initiative aimed at property acquisition and development to create long-term sustainability and community impact. History City is another key project that focuses on revitalizing underutilized historic properties into active community assets. We also have a Land Stewardship + Community Programming initiative that offers stewardship, education, and hands-on community programs tied to preservation skills, trades pathways, and local resilience.
