Mission & Focus Areas
OCJ’s stated mission is to organize, advocate, and support litigation for a justice movement that puts people first, so all people can thrive and equitably share in Oregon’s resources. Its 2024 filing describes legal services and access to justice, policy advocacy, consumer education, and community engagement. The filing says OCJ’s legal partners and statewide attorney network connect Oregonians with support to pursue justice through the courts, while its policy and education work builds consumer-law capacity and informs public advocacy.
OCJ’s website identifies auto, debt, and insurance-related consumer issues as priorities under its 2024–2026 strategic plan. It also describes work on privacy protections and advocacy for consumer-led enforcement and limits on mandatory arbitration and class waivers.
OCJ says its grants support consumer protections and access to justice. Its funded partners include the University of Oregon for legal education and access, and OCJ Law for consumer legal advocacy. The website also describes earlier support for community organizations and coalitions. In an announcement about a 2021–2022 grant cohort, OCJ characterized those grantees as geographically diverse and said most were led by BIPOC leaders and staff. Those descriptions refer to the grantees, not OCJ.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, OCJ reported two grants totaling $9,311,799. The grants ranged from $300,000 to $9,011,799, with a median of $4,655,900. The largest grants were $9,011,799 to OCJ Law in Portland for consumer advocacy and $300,000 to the University of Oregon in Eugene for legal education and access. OCJ’s website lists the corresponding 2025 fiscal-year awards as consumer legal advocacy and legal education and access.
OCJ’s website reports more than $25.7 million in grants awarded to support consumer justice statewide. Its financial transparency page says its efforts are funded through unclaimed funds from class action lawsuits and that it does not currently accept individual donations.
The University of Oregon Consumer Protection Research Grant is a partnership in which OCJ provides oversight and serves on the selection committee. The program is for faculty researchers and graduate students based at or affiliated with the University of Oregon; its stated geographic scope is research focused on Oregon consumer protection issues.
