Ideal Applicant
A registered Oregon 501(c)(3) or community college with programs in community services, education/scholarships, food security, or animal welfare seeking modest general support or emergency/student aid.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Oregon or serves Oregon communities.
- • Request size aligns with typical grants (roughly $1K–$10K).
- • Purpose matches past funding: general operating support, student emergency funds, scholarships, food pantry or animal welfare work.
- • Local presence or partnerships that make the organization visible to regional funders and board members.
Geography
Observed giving is strongly state-focused: the latest year sent about 94% of dollars to Oregon and only a small share to one other state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 53 distinct recipients across diverse program areas (education, human services, food programs, animal welfare and more), indicating a broad recipient set for a small foundation.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees in the latest year, but the public application process is invitation-only; the website does invite organizations to email with a link to their site, so newcomer consideration appears possible but not an open self-serve application.
