Women's Foundation of Oregon

Women's Foundation of Oregon dismantles sexism, racism, and structural oppression through the movement of resources and ideas across the state. Rooted in Portland, OR, this philanthropic organization works side-by-side with open-hearted leaders and communities toward real and lasting gender justice. With a legacy spanning 130 years, Women's Foundation of Oregon has established itself as a trusted partner dedicated to supporting those who envision a more equitable future. The organization prioritizes community, trust, and aims to reduce harmful philanthropic practices within the philanthropic sector itself. By centering the voices and needs of the communities it serves—particularly Black women, women of color, and other marginalized populations—Women's Foundation of Oregon funds culturally-specific programming and initiatives that address urgent needs. From supporting recovery and transitional housing centers to expanding access to outdoor spaces for BIPOC women and girls, the Foundation invests in solutions designed by and for the communities experiencing systemic barriers. Women's Foundation of Oregon believes that lasting change requires rest, radical dreaming, and consistent engagement with those most impacted by injustice. The organization remains committed to making Oregon a place where everyone can thrive.
