About Clackamas Women's Services
Clackamas Women's Services centers its grantmaking on survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and it also underwrites the network around them: shelter and housing, legal help, counseling, prevention, and recovery support for community organizations. In the latest grants list, one of the clearest signals is a $1,203,212 award to Antfarm for nonprofit capacity building and recovery assistance, showing that the funder invests not only in survivor services but also in the stability of the local providers delivering them. That same pattern appears in a $641,828 grant to Northwest Family Services for the same purpose, alongside housing support for survivors at organizations such as Up and Over and Northwest Housing Alternatives. The foundation’s giving also reaches sexual assault services, legal assistance for victims, and housing for trafficking survivors, tying direct service funding to organizational resilience. Across the recent record, the grant sizes range from modest awards to six-figure commitments, with several grants concentrated in Clackamas County and nearby Oregon communities. The structure is consistent with a local funder that supports both frontline response and the nonprofit infrastructure behind it.

Housing support is another clear area of emphasis: the foundation awarded $403,163 to Up and Over, $320,607 to Northwest Housing Alternatives, and $251,578 to the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization for housing for survivors. It also funded sexual assault services, including $182,020 to Family Skillbuilders and $125,510 to Legal Aid Services of Oregon for legal assistance for victims.
