About Neighborhood Partnerships
Neighborhood Partnerships works to create an equitable economy across Oregon that meets everyone's basic needs. Rather than provide direct services, we bring together diverse coalitions and cross-sector partnerships to develop policy solutions to inequity statewide. We bring together impacted communities, advocates, policymakers, businesses, community groups, and other stakeholders to build consensus around an agenda for change, provide backbone support, shape a shared platform, conduct research, and drive strategies. We center those most impacted by racial, housing, and economic injustice and direct energy and resources toward building community power, knowledge, and capacity.

About Neighborhood Partnerships
Neighborhood Partnerships Inc backs a statewide Oregon agenda built around housing justice, economic justice, asset building, racial equity, and coalition work. Its giving is organized around community development rather than direct service delivery, with grants that support policy solutions, backbone support, research, and cross-sector collaboration. That approach is visible in its largest recent awards, including $4,608,200 to Casa of Oregon in 2023 and $2,805,660 to the same organization in 2024. Both grants point to sustained support for community development partners working across Oregon. The foundation also extends large commitments to other Oregon intermediaries and local nonprofits, such as $2,034,300 to Devnw in 2023 and $1,479,744 to Neighbor Impact in 2023. The recipient list includes organizations in housing, youth, immigration, and community action work, but the organizing thread is consistent: strengthening local systems and community power for low- and moderate-income communities statewide. Its latest filing shows a foundation with substantial annual grantmaking and a portfolio centered entirely on Oregon recipients.
What Neighborhood Partnerships Funds
Housing-related work is a major part of the portfolio. Neighborhood Partnerships Inc gave $1,318,120 in 2024 to Ohcs for community development, along with $800,600 in 2023 and $536,250 in 2024 to Portland Housing Center for the same broad purpose. Economic inclusion also appears through asset-building and entrepreneurship support, including $905,630 in 2023 and $607,750 in 2024 to Microenterprise Service of Or. Community-based organizations serving specific populations are another clear theme: it gave $815,569 in 2023 and $572,000 in 2024 to Native American Youth & Fam, and $647,367 in 2023 plus $414,700 in 2024 to Warm Springs Community Action. The foundation’s grants also reach refugee and immigrant support through Irco, which received $425,850 in 2023 and $264,000 in 2024.
How Neighborhood Partnerships Gives
Neighborhood Partnerships Inc gives at a wide range of sizes, with a p25 of $10,000, a median grant of $327,600, and a p75 of $627,558. The distribution suggests a mix of smaller awards alongside many mid- to large-scale commitments. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Casa of Oregon, Devnw, Neighbor Impact, Microenterprise Service of Or, Native American Youth & Fam, Portland Housing Center, Warm Springs Community Action, Neighborworks Umpqua, Irco, Habitat for Humanity, and Coalition of Commu of Color. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking is fully local, with all reported grants going to recipients in Oregon.
