About Oregon Community Foundation

Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) puts donated money to work to improve lives for all Oregonians. In partnership with donors and volunteers, OCFhas distributed more than $2 billion to communities since 1973. Through grantmaking, research, advocacy and community-advised solutions, OCF helps create measurable change. During a time of catastrophic challenges across the state, OCF responded quickly and urgently — distributing more than $560 million in grants and scholarships from 2020 to 2021. In that time, OCF supported more than 4,000 nonprofits throughout Oregon, working to address urgent and ongoing needs. Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations can work with OCF to create charitable funds to support diverse communities and expand opportunities across the state.
