Its long-term goals are to strengthen the social fabric of our communities and improve the lives of all Oregonians. This program responds to evolving, community-identified needs and builds civic leadership and engagement.
Guiding Principles:
We believe that creative and sustainable solutions come from people who work in partnership to address common needs and aspirations. We give high priority to investments that create positive, substantive change and attempt to resolve problems at their source. We recognize and respect Oregon’s diverse regions and populations, and we seek to advance equity, diversity and inclusion through our programs.
Four Funding Priorities:
- Health & Wellbeing of Vulnerable Populations
- Educational Opportunities & Achievement
- Arts & Cultural Organizations
- Community Livability, Environment & Citizen Engagement.”
