About Habitat for Humanity of Oregon
Habitat for Humanity of Oregon Inc centers its funding on Oregon Habitat affiliates that build, repair, and support homeownership across the state. In 2025, the largest recent grant went to Columbia County Hfh in St Helens for land development and general operations, a pattern that points to the foundation’s emphasis on helping local affiliates carry out both project work and organizational support. The grant record shows a network approach rather than isolated awards: Mid-Willamette Valley Hfh in Salem, North Willamette Valley Hfh in Mt Angel, and Columbia Gorge Hfh in The Dalles also received sizeable support for the same kind of affiliate-level work. That aligns with the organization’s stated purpose of strengthening local Habitat offices so they can deliver homes, repairs, and related services in their communities. The grantmaking also reaches beyond one region of the state, with awards in places such as Tillamook, Junction City, Forest Grove, Newberg, La Grande, Bend, Portland, Medford, Eugene, Sisters, and Roseburg. Across the recent grants, the foundation’s role is not limited to direct project financing; it also sustains affiliate operations and development capacity tied to shelter, home repair, and homeownership.
What Habitat for Humanity of Oregon Funds
The foundation supports a mix of land development, operating support, and home-repair infrastructure. In land development and general operations, it gave $151,950 to Columbia County Hfh in St Helens and $145,977 to Mid-Willamette Valley Hfh in Salem. For rural capacity building, its Rural Ready Program uses grants and no-interest loans to strengthen project infrastructure for rural Habitat affiliates so they can develop additional affordable homes. Home repair is another major line of work: the HUD Healthy Homes Partnership and related critical home-repair funding support repairs such as roofing, ventilation, lead and radon mitigation, accessibility modifications, plumbing, and weatherization. The organization also backs homeowner participation and asset-building tools, including the Homeowner Advisory Council and Individual Development Accounts for home purchase and home repair.
How Habitat for Humanity of Oregon Gives
Typical grant size sits at $6,759 at the 25th percentile, $27,392 at the median, and $67,410 at the 75th percentile. The recent grant list shows repeat support to the same affiliates across years: West Tuality Hfh, Junction Cityharrisburg Hfh, North Willamette Valley Hfh, Bend Area Hfh, Rogue Valley Hfh, and La Pinesunriver each appear more than once. The foundation is an operating-and-development funder, not an individual-giving or PRI vehicle, and its own programs include grants, no-interest loans, and pass-through support tied to local affiliate capacity. Several active programs accept unsolicited requests, including Rural Ready, Homeowner Advisory Council participation support, Individual Development Accounts, Director of Lending activities, and down payment assistance.
