The Chambers Family Foundation is dedicated to strengthening communities within Oregon's Lane, Benton, and Deschutes counties through the support of arts, education, medical, health, and community projects and programs. The Foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations that align with its funding priorities, including projects with significant potential for community benefit. Grant applications are accepted twice a year, with deadlines on March 31 for the Spring funding cycle and September 30 for the Fall cycle. Applications must be complete and can be submitted either by mail or electronically. The Foundation gives special consideration to projects in Lane County, which receives 90% of the grants, while Benton and Deschutes counties each receive 5%. Grants range from under $4,999 to over $15,000, with priority given to projects over operating funds.
