About Jubitz Family Foundation
Jubitz Family Foundation’s grantmaking is defined by two linked lanes: protecting Mount Hood’s forests and waters, and supporting peacebuilding work that ranges from local education programs to Rotary-affiliated initiatives. The largest recent grant in the data, $74,000 to Columbia Slough Watershed Council, was for Sandy River watershed work, showing how the foundation uses sizable awards to back place-based restoration. Environmental grants also reach groups such as Hood River Watershed Group, Oregon Wild, Waterwatch of Oregon, and Western Rivers Conservancy, with purposes tied to streamflows, habitat protection, and forest conservation. On the peace side, the foundation has supported university-based and community-facing work, including grants to University of Oregon Foundation for Peacebuilding for the Earth and to World Oregon for peace education programming in Portland and Salem. It has also funded policy-oriented and anti-militarism organizations, including Cure Violence Global, Nonviolent Peaceforce, and Global Zero. Across these areas, the foundation favors mission-driven nonprofits and academic partners working on conservation, dialogue, and nonviolent change.
What Jubitz Family Foundation Funds
Environmental stewardship appears through multiple Mount Hood and watershed grants. Columbia Riverkeeper received $20,000 in 2025 for Hood River Basin habitat protection and restoration, while Freshwater Trust got $15,000 in 2025 for Upper Sandy monitoring to inform adaptive stream management. Oregon Agricultural Trust was awarded $15,000 in 2024 and again in 2025 for protecting Mt. Hood area farmland. Forest protection is another clear thread: Oregon Wild received $20,000 in 2025 for old-growth forest protection efforts in Mt. Hood National Forest, and Sustainable Northwest received $15,000 in 2025 for a Mt. Hood National Forest restoration project. Peace and education grants also show up in the portfolio, including $22,940 to World Oregon for a peace education program in Portland and Salem and $33,000 to Willamette Valley Law Project for Peacebuilding for the Earth 2022.
