Ideal Applicant

Small-to-midsize charities, especially community, human services, education or cultural organizations, seeking general operating or startup program support in Oregon (but occasional out-of-state grantees are funded).

Good Fit

  • Requesting general operating or startup program support in the $5K–$25K range.
  • Located in Oregon or able to demonstrate strong work or partnership in Oregon.
  • Can show measurable outcomes or a clear plan to scale a startup initiative.
  • Able to submit by mailed application route and meet an October 15 cycle deadline.

Geography

Broad

Grants appear across multiple states (five states observed in the latest year) though about two-thirds of dollars went to Oregon recipients, indicating a multi-state but Oregon-centered footprint.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 22 distinct grantees across community, education, health and cultural organizations, and the portfolio included both returning and new recipients rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence of new entrants exists—roughly 10 new grantees in 2023—and the filings include application instructions, a named submission contact, and a specific October 15 deadline, all of which support realistic access for unfamiliar applicants.
