About Northwest Health Foundation Fund Ii
Northwest Health Foundation Fund II shows a strong pattern of large, project-specific grants to organizations working on health equity, community safety, and civic participation in Oregon. In 2025, the largest recent award in the data went to Pride Foundation for $1,237,500, alongside a $500,000 grant to Imagine Black Futures and a $273,000 grant to Oregon Donor Alliance. The foundation also made substantial grants in 2024 to groups such as Womenfirst Transition Referral Center, Beyond These Walls, Utopia Pdx - United Territories of Pacific Islanders Alliance Portland, and Jackson County Community Services Consortium Inc, each at $325,000. Its stated grantmaking approach includes project support, general support, and core support for fiscally sponsored projects, which fits the mix of one-time awards and support to organizations operating through fiscal sponsors. The grant list also shows funding to groups addressing disability justice, reentry and diversion, survivor services, and culturally specific community organizing. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to back organizations that connect direct services with policy and community leadership.
