The Collins Foundation GO Grants

Fact (page-stated): GO Grants are The Collins Foundation's responsive, general-operating grant program for organizations serving Oregon, funding arts and culture, child welfare and development, education, environmental protection, health equity, and broader quality-of-life work in Oregon communities. Fact: single-year awards range from $25,000 to $100,000 with an average of $75,000, and multi-year grants of up to 3 years are offered to organizations highly aligned with the Foundation's goals and values; unless requested otherwise all grants are made as general operating grants. Fact: Tribal organizations are accepted where work benefits Oregon residents, and a fiscally-sponsored project may qualify through a fiscal sponsor. Fact: stated exclusions - religious activities, K-12/charter school-day and higher-education institutions directly, urban hospitals in large health systems, academic research and animal welfare, government agencies/municipalities, chronic-disease programs for the general public, sports-focused programs, and individual scholarships. Fact: the Foundation has awarded over $310 million since 1947 and reports over 600 organizations completed the PAS in its first month. Fact: the Foundation also names a Black Equity Movement program and an Oregon Immigrant & Refugee Funders Collaborative (detail pages not captured this cycle).
