The Oregon Clinic Foundation is pleased to announce the grant recipients of its first funding cycle.
“The breadth of work being done by small nonprofits to advance health and equity in our community is inspiring, and we were impressed with the proposals we received,” shared Dr. Jeff Bluhm, President of The Oregon Clinic Foundation Board and a Vice President at The Oregon Clinic. “We are honored to support three nonprofits during our inaugural grant cycle.”
Grants were awarded to:
Donate Life Northwest: $5,000 to support multicultural outreach efforts in the Portland/Vancouver metro area.
Mission: To save lives and improve health through the promotion of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
Donate Life Northwest is focused on increasing organ, eye, and tissue donation with a strong commitment to multicultural outreach and empowerment. Through culturally aware programs, they work to ensure that all communities understand the life-saving potential of organ and tissue donation.
Borland Free Clinic: $5,000 to offset operational costs related to expanding its Vaccine Access Program capacity.
Mission: To bring hope and healing to vulnerable people in our community as an expression of Christ’s love.
Borland Free Clinic provides essential safety-net health care services to uninsured and underinsured individuals in the community, offering compassionate, no-cost healthcare to those who might otherwise lack access to medical treatment.
Embrace Compassion: $5,000 to support the 2025 Farm Season programming, farm animal feed, and housing for families in crisis from cancer treatment.
Mission: We encourage and give hope to children in hard places, working as a team to make life just a little bit brighter.
Embrace Compassion hosts programing for children in cancer treatment, and their families, at a small farm in Sherwood. Hundreds of farm experiences each year bring respite for families in cancer treatment, build community, and restore hope in the journey.
The Foundation’s 2025 grant cycle is now open. We invite nonprofits to review the grant eligibility requirements and apply if there is a match!
