About Juan Young Trust
The Juan Young Trust concentrates its giving in Oregon, with a strong emphasis on children and youth-focused programs — especially education, enrichment (music, STEM, arts), camps/outdoor experiences, and basic needs such as food and clothing. Grants are commonly program-specific (e.g., school music, youth nutrition, summer camps, scholarships, child mental-health services) and include both secular and faith-based schools and service providers. The foundation favors local, actionable projects that serve families and young people across the Portland metro and broader Oregon communities.

About Juan Young Trust
Juan Young Trust’s recent grants show a consistent pattern of support for children and youth in Oregon through school-based enrichment, camps, and direct-service programs. The largest recent award in the list went to Beaverton Education Foundation for Geared Up for PE, a $50,000 grant that sits alongside other sizable commitments to youth-serving organizations across the state. The trust also backed Kex Kids Fund Program with $36,000 for Farm Camp 2022, signaling interest in outdoor and hands-on learning experiences for children. Across the recent grant list, the trust supports a mix of education, recreation, health, and basic-needs work. Camp Ukandu received multiple awards for summer camp and a children’s center project, while Oregon Food Bank and Food for Lane County were funded for child nutrition programs. The portfolio also includes school-based mental health, scholarship support, and community programs for families with children. Grants appear practical and program-specific, often tied to a named activity or service rather than unrestricted support. The overall picture is of a local funder directing substantial annual grantmaking to organizations serving young people and families in Oregon.
What Juan Young Trust Funds
Education and enrichment are a major thread in Juan Young Trust’s giving. Beaverton Education Foundation received $15,000 for music programs, while Oregon Museum of Science and Industry was awarded $22,500 for its STEM education program. The trust also supported Cedar Mill Community Library Association with $22,000 for a pre-reading program and The Salvation Army - Gresham Corps with $15,000 for a music education program. Outdoor learning and camp experiences are another visible priority. Camp Lutherwood received $18,000 for outdoor school, Catlin Gabel School got $16,000 for outdoor summer programs, and Camp Fire Columbia was funded with $18,000 for a cabin roof replacement. In health and family support, Virginia Garcia received $16,000 for school based health clinics, Providence Willamette Falls Medical Foundation got $25,000 for a mental health program, and Standupgirlcom Foundation Inc received $20,000 for pregnancy counseling support program.
How Juan Young Trust Gives
The typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $7,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $11,000. Recent awards do rise well above that range for selected projects, including several $25,000 grants and a $50,000 grant. The trust gives repeatedly to some organizations across multiple years, such as Camp Ukandu and Oregon Coast Aquarium, which suggests an ongoing relationship rather than one-time support in those cases. It is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and the organization funds individuals. The available 990 data is for 2024.
