This small family foundation concentrates its giving on a few targeted recipients: repeated support to Michigan State University alongside local, community-focused faith and youth organizations in Oregon. Grants suggest a mix of alumni/college-directed philanthropy and hands-on community support (church programming and one-to-one youth mentoring). The foundation makes few, moderately sized gifts rather than broad, diversified funding.
Concentrated and selective: small number of grants with one repeat, relatively large gift(s) to a single university plus smaller local awards; appears to favor known or local partners rather than many new grantees.
A $15,000 unrestricted grant to Michigan State University in 2023 is the foundation’s largest recent gift on file, and it fits a pattern of direct support to a small number of recurring recipients. The Roger and Priscilla Schultz Family Foundation gives in a focused way, with several grants repeated across 2023 through 2025 and many awards marked unrestricted. Its recent giving combines alumni- and college-related support, Oregon community organizations, and faith- or youth-centered groups. Michigan State University appears as a central recipient, while Portland- and Bend-based nonprofits make up much of the local side of the portfolio. The foundation’s grants also show a preference for flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding. That appears in gifts to Friends of the Children Center in Portland, The Giving Plate in Bend, and North Coast Church in Vista, each receiving more than one grant over the period shown. The result is a compact grantmaking pattern: a few institutions receive repeated backing, and the awards are often sized for modest operating or program support rather than large-scale institutional grants.
One clear theme is college-connected philanthropy. In 2025, the foundation gave $7,000 to Michigan State University, following a $15,000 grant in 2023, both unrestricted. The repeated support suggests an ongoing relationship with that institution. A second area is local safety-net and community support in central Oregon. The foundation gave $5,000 to The Giving Plate in 2025, after $2,500 in 2024 and $2,103 in 2023. It also gave $2,500 to Partners in Care in 2024 and again in 2025, plus $1,000 to Bethlehem Inn in 2025. A third theme is youth-serving and faith-based work. Friends of the Children Center received $5,326 in 2023, $3,129 in 2024, and $5,000 in 2025. Bridgetown Church Office received $1,000 in 2025, and North Coast Church received $6,500 in 2023 and $4,000 in 2025.
Typical grants are modest: the p25 size is $598, the median is $1,000, and the p75 is $2,500. The foundation’s annual giving totals $115,962 against $88,492 in assets, which points to an active grantmaking pattern relative to its size. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Michigan State University, Friends of the Children Center, The Giving Plate, Partners in Care, North Coast Church, Ohsu Ms Center of Neurology, Friends Co, Acvow, and Coloradogivesorg. Grants in the record are unrestricted, indicating flexible support rather than project-specific awards. The foundation does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
