The Oregon Clinic Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of its first 2026 grant cycle.
“We are excited to start our second year of grantmaking by supporting six local non-profits,” shared Dr. Jeff Bluhm, president of The Oregon Clinic Foundation board and a vice president at The Oregon Clinic. “For our first grant cycle of 2026, we received a broad range of proposals from organizations working to advance health and equity in our community. Learning more about these groups and their vital work is educational and inspiring.”

Join us to make an impact on our community and fund future grants!
Together, we can make a difference. In the most recent grant cycle, we learned a donation of $140 can fully fund the toys, games, activity materials, wipes, and diapers needed in The Family Room for an entire month. When you choose to donate to The Oregon Clinic Foundation, our shared generosity can create lasting support for neighbors in need.
Our grants are making a huge impact on our community, and we want to do more! As a 501(c)(3) entity, The Oregon Clinic Foundation can receive charitable gifts from patients, colleagues, family, friends, and community members and offer tax-deductible receipts. The Oregon Clinic covers 100% of administrative costs, so every dollar donated is given back to local non-profits.
