Advancing Health and Equity in our Community

As healthcare providers, our mission is to take care of the wellbeing of our patients and our community. Every day, we witness the many ways healthcare extends beyond our clinic walls—social, mental, and physical support needs vital to every person. Through The Oregon Clinic Foundation, we’re helping to create equitable access to essential resources by partnering with local non-profits dedicated to advancing health and equity.

These partnerships empower us to connect our patients and community members with the support they need to thrive whether it’s food security, mental health resources, or other services.

The Oregon Clinic Foundation allows anyone—patients, families, friends, and colleagues—to join us in strengthening our community. And because The Oregon Clinic’s physician owners cover all administrative costs, 100% of every donation directly supports local non-profits, ensuring each dollar makes a meaningful difference.

Grant Priorities

Local non-profits have unique insights into a community’s most urgent needs and are best positioned to make a difference. We value the organizations offering excellent programs to advance health and equity across Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas Counties.

To support this essential work, The Oregon Clinic Foundation grants flexible funding with a straightforward application and easy reporting process.

We encourage a diverse range of non-profits to apply for grants that will help them to focus on serving our community.

Join us in our work to create a healthier, more equitable future for all!
