Welcomes You
Enjoying All Things Koi!!
Founded in 1976, the Northwest Koi and Goldfish Club (NWKGC) brings together koi and goldfish enthusiasts who share a passion for learning, improving, and enjoying the hobby. While many of our members are based in the Portland and Vancouver areas, our community includes hobbyists from across the United States.
In 2026, the NWKGC will be focused on education, connection, and participation. Through hands-on programs, seasonal events, club gatherings, community outreach, and our internationally respected koi show, we support members at every stage—from newcomers building their first pond to experienced keepers refining their collections.
The club is proudly affiliated with Zen Nippon Airinkai, Koi Organisational International, and the Pacific Northwest Koi Association, reinforcing our commitment to high standards, education, and fellowship within the koi community
Helping Our Friends at FIDO
Once again, the Northwest Koi and Goldfish Club is proud to support FIDO Pet Food Bank, which helps families in need provide food and supplies for their beloved pets. Thanks to our members generosity, this annual tradition continues to make a meaningful difference in our community. We hope you’ll join us again this year!
Every donation, large or small, makes a difference! We welcome contributions of dog and cat food, treats, toys, supplies, and monetary donations. Items can be brought to our November and December club meetings, or you can donate through our PayPal link through December 12.
Your generosity helps ensure that families in need don’t have to worry about feeding their four-legged companions. Thank you to all our NWKGC members and friends for sharing your kindness and helping make this annual tradition so special!
More information about FIDO can be found at www.fidoanimeals.org
