2025 Community Giving: Grant Requests and Event Sponsorships

In line with CareOregon's mission to inspire and partner to create quality and equity in individual and community health, the objectives of CareOregon’s community giving program are to:

• Address priority social needs in the communities where our members live
• Build CareOregon partnerships with CBOs addressing community health needs
• Increase collaboration between CBO partners to improve access to care and reduce health disparities

In 2025, our giving will focus on organizations and events providing programming and services to address community health needs including food, housing and access to education and healthcare.

Programs and services seeking support must work with Medicaid or low-income populations in CareOregon's service area of Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Jackson, Multnomah, Tillamook, and/or Washington counties in Oregon.

Funding requests for culturally and linguistically specific organizations, and programs staffed by Traditional Health Workers (THWs), including Community Health Workers, Peer Support Specialists, and other types of THWs, will be prioritized.

Programming and events supported by CareOregon may not exclude people or treat them differently because of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, color, sex or sexual orientation.

Sponsorships average under $5,000 and grants average about $25,000.

Organizations requesting more than this amount, or organizations with no existing funding or partner relationship with CareOregon, are encouraged to reach out to communitygivinggrants@careoregon.org to discuss their request prior to submission.
