About Hayes Family Foundation
The Hayes Family Foundation appears focused on supporting children with serious illnesses, demonstrated by a single large gift to a national pediatric research and care institution. Their giving is philanthropic and health-centered, prioritizing high-impact support for pediatric medical treatment and research rather than local or broad-based community causes. The grant suggests an interest in national-level institutions with clear missions to treat and research serious childhood conditions.

About Hayes Family Foundation
An $84,000 grant to St. Jude’s in Memphis stands out as the largest recent award from Hayes Family Foundation and points to a clear interest in children with serious illnesses. That gift is consistent with a broader pattern of health-centered support, especially for pediatric care, rare disease work, and family support tied to medical needs. The foundation also makes repeated grants to Oregon organizations serving children and families, including Family Building Blocks in Salem, which received $40,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for child abuse prevention. In the same period, Medical Teams International in Portland received multiple $25,000 grants for medical aid for the needy, while Children’s Cancer Association in Portland received support for children with serious illnesses. These grants suggest a funder that favors direct service and targeted assistance over broad, multi-issue giving. The pattern includes both recurring support for certain nonprofits and selective larger gifts to institutions with a defined child-health mission. Across the recent record, the foundation’s work centers on practical help for children and families facing health or safety challenges.
What Hayes Family Foundation Funds
In pediatric health, Hayes Family Foundation backed several organizations with purpose-specific support. St. Jude’s in Memphis received $84,000 for support for children with serious illnesses, and Children’s Cancer Association in Portland received $20,000 for the same broad area. The foundation also supported Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation in Aloha with $20,000 for medical assistance for families in need. Family and child safety appear in grants to Family Building Blocks in Salem, which received $40,000 for child abuse prevention program in 2024 and again in 2025. On the basic-needs side, the foundation gave $20,000 to Marion Polk Food Share Program in Salem for food assistance. Medical access is another thread, reflected in grants to Volunteers in Medicine in Springfield and Medical Teams International in Portland for medical aid for the needy.

Unsolicited applications are accepted for the Hayes Family Mental Health Award in Rotary District 5450.
