FUNDING PRIORITIES

The Foundation gives priority to projects and programs targeted by members of the Chambers Family Foundation in the fields of arts, education, medical, health, and human needs in Oregon’s Lane, Benton and Deschutes Counties. 

The Foundation will consider those projects with the greatest potential for furthering Foundation values and for benefitting the community.

PROPOSAL REVIEW

Proposals are normally reviewed and funding decisions made during the months of June and December.

Proposals can be submitted at any time but must be received in their entirety by March 31 or September 30 to be considered at the next funding meeting.

If a proposal has been declined, but the Foundation indicates it would be appropriate, it may be resubmitted for consideration at a later time.
