Improve access, build community, inspire hope and leave a legacy for individual and community health across Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties; support Samaritan’s mission of Building Healthier Communities Together.
Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital’s recent giving centers on direct support for local health access and basic needs in Lincoln County and nearby communities. The largest recent grant in the record, $20,750 to Lincoln County Health & Human Services in Newport, was directed to increase access to medical care. That same pattern continues through grants for food insecurity, childcare, shelter, and services for survivors of abuse and domestic violence, showing a foundation that funds both health care and the social conditions that shape it. The foundation’s grant list also shows repeated support for organizations serving families and older adults. Food Share of Lincoln County received grants in both 2024 and 2025 for reducing food insecurity, while Family Promise of Lincoln County received support for emergency shelter and stabilization services in two separate years. Other awards have gone to community organizations in Toledo, Depoe Bay, Gleneden Beach, and Albany, reflecting a local grantmaker focused on practical services rather than large, distant programs. This fits the foundation’s stated aim to improve access, build community, and support Samaritan’s mission of Building Healthier Communities Together across Benton, Lincoln, and Linn counties.
Health access is a clear priority. Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital gave $20,750 to Lincoln County Health & Human Services in Newport for access to medical care, and its active grant programs also include support for community benefit activities tied to access to care and social determinants of health. Food security is another consistent area. The foundation awarded $10,875 to Food Share of Lincoln County in Newport to reduce food insecurity, and it also supported Neighbors for Kids in Depoe Bay for food insecurity among low-income children and families. For children and families, the foundation funded Olalla Center for Children & Families in Toledo with $12,500 to provide childcare, healthy meal preparation, and early childhood education. It also gave $10,000 to Family Promise of Lincoln County in Gleneden Beach for emergency shelter and stabilization services, alongside support for My Sisters Place in Newport for survivors of child abuse and domestic violence.
