About The Collins Foundation
Formed in 1947 by Truman W. Collins Sr. and other members of the family of E.S. Collins, The Collins Foundation invests in Oregon nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life and well-being for the people in their communities.
Our Values
We’re here today because the founders of The Collins Foundation took the long view in planning for sustainable grantmaking to those doing good work in Oregon’s communities. Their forethought has provided the resources and opportunities to honor the history of the foundation while refocusing our organizational priorities to address the root causes of inequity.
Our Grants
Through three grant programs, Collins funds arts and culture, child welfare and development, education, environmental protection, health equity, and a broad range of efforts to enhance the quality of life in Oregon’s communities.
