Mission & Focus Areas
Legacy’s stated mission is “good health for our people, our communities, our world.” Its 2023 filing describes a system dedicated to caring, compassion and excellence.
Community Health Grants support nonprofits whose work aligns with Legacy’s Community Health Needs Assessments and Community Health Improvement Plans. The stated aim is to advance health equity, particularly for historically underserved and underrepresented communities. Current priorities include access to health care, economic stability, and mental health and substance use for organizations serving Marion County. For the Portland metro area, priorities include culturally and linguistically responsive health care; essential community services and resources, including economic and educational opportunity and culturally specific and healthy foods; and physical safety in the community.
Examples of grantees’ work include Project Access Now, whose mission is to improve community health and well-being by ensuring access to care, services and resources for people most in need. Transition Projects says it helps people move from homelessness to housing through shelter, supportive housing, outreach and a day center. Familias en Acción describes its work as advancing Latino health and wellness through education, supportive services and programs that uplift community wisdom and strength.
Grantmaking
In 2025, Legacy reported 31 grants totaling $2,081,825. Grants ranged from $5,626 to $732,069, with a median of $50,000. Grant totals were $2,510,544 across 32 grants in 2024 and $998,209 across 11 grants in 2023.
The largest 2025 award listed was $732,069 to Project Access Now for premium assistance. Other notable awards included $150,000 to The Oregon Community Foundation for community clinics support; $57,500 to Girls Inc. of Northwest Oregon for girls groups and Eureka programs; and $57,500 to Transition Projects for wellness access specialist support. Legacy also awarded $53,750 to Free Clinic of Southwest Washington for its Project Access program, Latino Network for a community health response program, and YWCA Clark County for outreach and prevention for BIPOC youth.
Organizations can complete a grant inquiry form to share information about their work and hear about upcoming opportunities. Legacy typically solicits proposals one to two times per calendar year. Funding requests must address a priority in a medical center’s community health needs or improvement plans, support activities within Legacy’s service area, and directly benefit underserved or marginalized communities. Legacy does not fund capital campaigns, endowments or memorials, for-profit ventures, individuals’ study, travel or personal events, organizations that discriminate in services or hiring, political lobbying groups or campaigns, fraternal activities, or sports teams. Event sponsorship requests are accepted on an ongoing basis; Legacy advises allowing up to 60 days for a decision.
