Overview

Mission​ Our Mission is to support youth and families, education, and the elderly. The H.W. and D.C.H. Irwin Foundation Recognizing that today's complex society presents many issues and problems that merit foundation support, the Howard Wallis Irwin and Dorise Carlyon Hinton Irwin Foundation, established in 1992, has very broad areas of interest. These primarily include youth and families, education, and the elderly. The H.W. & D.C.H. Irwin Foundation is managed by the U.S. Bank Foundation Team in Portland, Oregon. What We Fund Of special interest to the Irwin Foundation are efforts aimed at expanding the number of Americans who are able to participate in the economic and business activities which are crucial to our nation’s continuing vitality and leadership. Therefore, the Foundation places a high priority on social service projects wherein an individual functions through a social service agency in order to achieve independence and self-reliance. The Foundation prefers to limit its funding almost exclusively to the Portland Metropolitan area. With rare exception, the Foundation does not support medical research, endowments, annual or year end appeals or grants to individuals. While the Foundation does not grant awards for religious purposes, the Foundation will on occasion grant awards to religious organizations to be used for secular purposes. The Foundation only distributes funds to organizations with 501(c)(3) status, or who have a sponsoring agency with this status.
