The Taubert Memorial Foundation makes a small number of relatively large grants focused on humanitarian relief, health-related assistance and advocacy, and support for Indigenous communities. Their giving mixes direct aid (food, clothing, medical assistance) with funding for research and public-interest advocacy around food, water and health. Grants are geographically mixed and include both NGOs and tribal organizations, suggesting a willingness to fund emergency/individual needs as well as policy and research work.
A defining feature of Taubert Memorial Foundation’s giving is its repeated support for humanitarian relief and direct aid, alongside grants for Indigenous communities and health-related advocacy. One of its largest recent awards went to Paza Tree of Life for humanitarian aid and supplies, while World Effort Foundation received support for food, clothing, and beds for needy households. The foundation also backs health and education work: Children’s Health Defense received funding for education to end childhood epidemics, and Food and Water Watch received grants for research on food and water safety. The pattern in recent grants shows a funder willing to combine emergency assistance with longer-horizon work on public health, food safety, and environmental health. It also funds individual needs directly, as shown by assistance for medical care and low-income cancer treatment in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Indigenous-focused grants appear as well, including support for missing Native Americans search efforts, tribal support, and Native American community regeneration. The mix of nonprofit recipients, tribal organizations, and individuals points to a broad, hands-on grantmaking style rather than a narrow institutional program.
Humanitarian relief is a major theme in the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $60,000 to Paza Tree of Life for humanitarian aid and supplies, and $3,000 to Paypal Giving Fund for humanitarian aid and supplies. It also supported immediate household needs with $43,000 to World Effort Foundation for food, clothing, and beds for needy people. Health-related grants cover both direct services and public education. South Lane Mental Health received $10,000 to provide mental health services, and Willamette Family Treatment Center received $10,000 to provide substance abuse treatment. For health education, KPFK received $5,000 for educational health programming. The foundation also funds food and water safety work. It gave $20,000 to Food and Water Watch for research on food and water safety, and $5,000 to Organic Consumers Association to protect access to safe food and water. Indigenous community support appears in grants such as $20,000 to Look for Me for the search for missing Native Americans.
