The Healy Foundation appears to make very concentrated, high-dollar gifts: all recorded giving in this dataset (about $5.28M over two grants) went to a single named recipient. Because the grantee name and NTEE purpose are not provided here, the foundation’s substantive program interests are not discernible from the available records, but the pattern suggests a strategic, targeted relationship with one organization—likely a local or mission-aligned partner in the Portland area.
Highly concentrated: two large grants (totaling ~$5.28M) directed to the same recipient. The foundation shows repeat support to a single grantee rather than many small or diversified awards.
The Healy Foundation’s recorded giving in this dataset is defined by two seven-figure grants, both made to the same Oregon recipient listed as “See attachment.” That pattern points to a highly concentrated funding approach rather than a broad portfolio of small awards. The foundation’s active programs show a wider set of interests, including unrestricted grants, scholarships and fellowships, and partnered scholarships for Oregon high school graduates. It also maintains named scholarship and fellowship efforts tied to Oregon and Hawaiʻi, including the Barbara Leppe Scholarship for Women in Oregon and the Healy Foundation Climate Change Fellowship at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Alongside those programs, the foundation’s unrestricted grantmaking is tied to youth, environment, and community work, with Oregon and Hawaiʻi named as priority geographies. The overall picture is of a funder that combines long-term, place-based support with direct educational aid and environment-related grantmaking. Its latest 990 year on file is 2024, and the organization is a regular funder rather than a DAF.
Education appears through multiple named programs. The foundation partners with College Possible and Stand for Children to award scholarships to Oregon high school graduates, and it also runs scholarships and fellowships that provide direct support to individual recipients. Women’s education is addressed through the Barbara Leppe Scholarship for Women in Oregon, which supports challenged young women graduating from high school. Environment-related support is also explicit: the Healy Foundation Climate Change Fellowship at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa places fellows as research assistants who support the City and County of Honolulu Climate Change Commission. Its unrestricted grantmaking program is also tied to youth, environment, and community work in Oregon and Hawaiʻi.
The Healy Foundation’s grant size profile is tightly compressed at the multimillion-dollar level: p25 is $2,629,319, median is $2,639,350, and p75 is $2,649,382. That reflects a very narrow size band across the recorded awards. In the available data, the same recipient appears in both recent grant records, indicating repeat support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals through grantmaking. Its active programs also show that it does not accept unsolicited grants for the named programs listed here.

Notable grantees: Primary grantee (listed in data as 'See attachment')
Grantmaking is strongly place-based. All recorded grants in the dataset went to recipients in the United States, and 100% of grants were given to recipients in Oregon. The recent-grants entries both point to an Oregon recipient in Portland-area records. Programmatically, Oregon also appears in the foundation’s scholarship and unrestricted-grant efforts, while Hawaiʻi is named in its sunsetting unrestricted grants and climate fellowship work.
Its named programs include unrestricted grants, scholarships and fellowships, scholarship partnerships with College Possible and Stand for Children, a Barbara Leppe Scholarship for Women in Oregon, and a climate change fellowship with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The active-program descriptions also tie unrestricted support to youth, environment, and community work.
The recorded grant-size distribution is very narrow and in the multimillion-dollar range: p25 is $2,629,319, the median is $2,639,350, and p75 is $2,649,382. The two recent grants in the dataset were $2,659,414 and $2,619,287.
In the grant records provided, no. All recorded grants went to recipients in the United States, and 100% of grants were made to recipients in Oregon. The foundation also names Hawaiʻi in some active programs, including unrestricted grantmaking and the climate fellowship.
No for the active programs listed here. The scholarships via partner organizations, scholarships and fellowships, unrestricted grantmaking, the sunsetting unrestricted grants, the climate fellowship, and the Barbara Leppe Scholarship all indicate that unsolicited applications are not accepted.
The foundation is marked as not funding individuals through grantmaking, even though it does have separate scholarship and fellowship programs. Those programs provide direct support to individual recipients, while the foundation’s grantmaking profile is recorded as institutional rather than individual.
