Ideal Applicant
An Oregon-based nonprofit or food-system enterprise working on local food-system resilience, food-worker safety or food-hub infrastructure with demonstrated local impact and capacity to manage a $5K–$75K award.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Oregon or serves Oregon communities.
- • Program work addresses disaster resilience, food-worker safety, or food-hub infrastructure.
- • Can manage project-sized grants (many awards fall between $5K and $75K).
- • Has clear, local track record and can respond to an outreach from a program contact.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year is entirely within Oregon; all grants and grant dollars reported went to recipients in a single state.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the funder issued 55 grants to 55 distinct recipients, showing a broad and diverse recipient set; financial concentration is moderate (largest grantee ~6%, top five ~27%) but many independent organizations were funded.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is strong in the observed period: all 55 recipients in the latest year were new and no repeat recipients were recorded across three years; combined with a public website and named program contacts, this behavior suggests unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
