The Bloomfield Family Foundation prioritizes grassroots community organizations focused on social justice, immigrant and Latinx support, food and agricultural justice, and local arts and cultural programming — primarily in the Pacific Northwest with some national reach. They favor general operating support for small-to-mid sized nonprofits that center equity, healing, and community resilience, often funding organizations that serve marginalized populations such as immigrants, low-income families, Indigenous communities, and people affected by domestic violence or HIV. Repeated grants to the same organizations indicate a preference for sustaining trusted partners rather than one-off project funding.
Bloomfield Family Foundation’s recent grants show a steady preference for general operating support to small and mid-sized nonprofits working on immigrant defense, Latinx services, food justice, HIV support, domestic violence response, and community arts. The pattern is not project-by-project funding, but flexible support for organizations that appear to be doing core community work. In the latest grants list, the foundation backed Growing Gardens in Portland, Oregon, twice at $15,000 and $15,700 for general operating support, signaling sustained support for a food and agriculture justice organization. It also gave repeated general operating grants to Ulster Immigrant Defense Network in Kingston, New York, and to Ophelias Place in Eugene, Oregon, both of which fit the foundation’s emphasis on vulnerable communities and direct-service work. Other recipients include Latino-serving organizations, HIV service groups, rural education programs, and arts organizations. Across the recent record, the foundation’s giving reads as relationship-based support for community organizations rather than episodic, issue-specific awards.
Immigrant defense and Latinx services are a clear thread. The foundation gave $15,000 to Ulster Immigrant Defense Network in Kingston, New York, for general operating support, and $10,000 to Centro Latino Americano in Eugene, Oregon, also for general operating support. It also funded Latino Network in Portland, Oregon, at $10,000 for general operating support. Food and agricultural justice is another focus area. Growing Gardens in Portland, Oregon, received $15,700 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2023, both for general operating support, while Soul Fire Farm Institute Inc. in Petersburg, New York, received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation also supports survivor services and health-related work. Ophelias Place in Eugene, Oregon, received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and Hiv Alliance in Eugene received $10,000 in 2023 and 2024, each as general operating support.
Typical grant sizes cluster tightly around the mid-five-figure range: p25 is $7,500, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. That distribution shows a strong center at $10,000, with a smaller share of larger awards such as $15,000 and $15,700. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund vehicle, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Growing Gardens, Ophelias Place, Hiv Alliance, Soul Fire Farm Institute Inc., Raphael House of Portland, and Ulster Immigrant Defense Network. Grants are consistently framed as general operating support, pointing to flexible, sustaining funding.

Modest-size general operating grants distributed across many community-based nonprofits, with numerous repeat awards (several organizations received two grants). Funding is geographically concentrated in the Pacific Northwest but includes selective national or out-of-region justice organizations; overall the portfolio favors sustaining core operating capacity rather than large single grants.
