To eliminate hunger and its root causes… because no one should be hungry.
Oregon Food Bank’s recent grantmaking is organized around a single purpose: to prevent hunger. The largest grants on file are very large, and they flow to Regional Food Banks & Local partners in Oregon for that same purpose, showing a funding model built around food access rather than a mix of unrelated causes. Across the latest grants, the foundation supports a statewide network of local and regional organizations that distribute food and address hunger directly. That pattern fits the foundation’s stated focus on hunger relief, food distribution, policy advocacy tied to SNAP and related programs, community building and leadership, food systems and producer support, volunteer mobilization, and emergency food assistance. Its work is aimed at people experiencing food insecurity, low-income individuals and families, and communities at risk of hunger. The foundation’s scale is substantial, with annual grants above $134 million and assets near $89 million, and its recent awards show that it gives through recurring support to Oregon-based recipients. Susannah Morgan leads the foundation.
In direct service and food distribution, Oregon Food Bank gave $60,680,965 in 2024 to Regional Food Banks & Local for “TO PREVENT HUNGER.” A second 2024 grant of $15,111,648 went to the same recipient group for the same purpose, underscoring how central local distribution partners are to its work. The foundation also backs emergency-oriented hunger prevention through another major 2023 award: $50,091,741 to Regional Food Banks & Local for “TO PREVENT HUNGER.” A further 2023 grant of $8,704,671 followed the same pattern. Together, those grants align with the foundation’s focus areas in hunger relief, food distribution, and emergency food assistance. Its program framing also includes policy advocacy tied to SNAP and related programs, along with community building, leadership, food systems, producer support, and volunteer mobilization.
Oregon Food Bank’s grant sizes are large, with a p25 of $13,509,904, a median of $32,601,694, and a p75 of $52,739,047. The recent record shows repeated awards in both 2023 and 2024, which suggests ongoing support rather than isolated one-off gifts. All listed grants go to Oregon recipients, and the foundation gives locally. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
