We regret to announce that as of January, 2025, we are no longer accepting applications from new organizations working in the Oregon Education space. We still fund in arts, culture, and arts education via our Arts & Culture priority (please see our Grant History for examples).
For now, we will also continue accepting applications from legacy education partners that have received grants from us within the last two years, although we may revisit that decision for the Summer 2026 cycle and beyond.
We apologize. Obviously, education is essential to all of us, but last year, we only gave 4.75% of our funding to Oregon education initiatives, and we do not feel that we are funding impactfully or equitably in that space, especially because we don’t have program-officer expertise in that sector.
Even if we are no longer a good fit for your organization, please know how grateful we remain for the work of every educator and educational nonprofit, especially in these challenging times.
