Ideal Applicant
A public charity-sized organization in Oregon or the surrounding region seeking general operating support — often faith-based, educational, health, or community-service nonprofits — with capacity to receive mid-sized grants.
Good Fit
- • Is a registered public charity (the foundation restricts grants to public charities).
- • Seeks general operating or unrestricted support rather than narrowly restricted project funding.
- • Has an existing presence or program footprint in Oregon or nearby states (CA, WA, KY).
- • Has budget and reporting capacity appropriate for grants in the $10k–$150k range.
Geography
Giving is regionally focused: grants were awarded in four states with nearly half of dollars directed to the foundation's home state, indicating a regional rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows two dozen-plus distinct recipients (24–28) across multiple mission areas, with a mix of repeat and many new grantees, which indicates a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows substantial turnover and entry (about 11 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation provides clear application instructions and a named contact for mailed written applications, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
