The Faye & Lucille Stewart Foundation concentrates its giving locally in the Eugene, OR area, prioritizing children- and youth-focused services, school facilities, and general operating support for community nonprofits. Grants skew toward capital and facility projects (notably school and sports facility development) as well as sustaining operational/ fundraising needs for cultural and early-childhood programs. Their giving suggests a preference for mid-sized awards that strengthen local institutions serving families and children.
The Faye & Lucille Stewart Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear preference for local institutions that shape daily community life in Eugene and nearby Lane County. A $50,000 grant to Eugene Civic Alliance for facility development for Kidsports is the largest recent award in the file, and it sits alongside repeated support for Saint Paul School Development Foundation’s capital campaign, including grants of $40,000 in 2023 and 2025 and a $20,000 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that backs physical spaces as well as the organizations that use them. Their grant history also includes support for children’s services, arts access, and community nonprofits that need operating help. Eugene Relief Nursery Inc received funding tied to an annual auction fundraising event, while Adventure Childrens Museum received operating support in Springfield. The foundation also funded Bushnell University for a bell tower renovation, Eugene Ballet for office space and access to the dance studio, and Angel Hair Foundation for support cancer patients. These grants suggest a mix of capital projects, event sponsorship, and general operational support for organizations serving children, families, and local cultural life.
Children and youth services appear throughout the foundation’s recent grants. Eugene Relief Nursery Inc received $25,500 in 2023 and $22,500 plus $15,000 in 2025 for its annual auction fundraising event, and Family Relief Nursery received $10,000 in 2025 for fundraiser sponsorship. School and campus facilities are another recurring theme. Saint Paul School Development Foundation received $40,000 in 2023, $40,000 in 2025, and $20,000 in 2025 for its capital campaign, while Bushnell University received $32,000 in 2025 and $8,000 in 2025 for bell tower renovation. The arts also show up in the grant record. Eugene Ballet was awarded $20,000 in 2023 to provide office space and access to the dance studio, and Cottage Theatre received $10,000 in 2023 for theater renovation. The foundation also supported Instaballet with $10,000 in 2025 for fundraiser sponsorship.
Typical awards are in the mid-thousands to low tens of thousands, with a p25 of $8,000, median of $11,000, and p75 of $24,375. The file also includes larger outliers such as a $50,000 grant and several $40,000 awards. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Saint Paul School Development Foundation, Bushnell University, Bohemia Foundation Inc, Bohemia Gold Mining Museum, Relief Nursery Inc, and Children’s Miracle Network. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is a private foundation, not a grantmaker to individuals, and there is no indication of program-related investments.
