Update on our new grantmaking process ...
Collins is moving the opening date of our new relational and responsive grantmaking process from May 27, 2025 to mid-June 2025.
The enthusiastic feedback we received from over 300 nonprofit professionals to the Collins Grantmaking Reimagined: A People-Centered Process presentations in Ontario and Portland made two things clear -
- The foundation is headed in the right direction toward making collaborative, low-barrier grantmaking a reality; and
- Before going live, we need to refine our approach to make sure the process is useful for Oregon's nonprofit organizations.
Our Commitment to Equity
