Founded in 1989, Equity Foundation builds communities that advance the dignity and worth of all people.  Equity Foundation promotes philanthropy and positive interaction by granting funds to organizations that work to eradicate prejudice against gender and sexual minorities and people from other diverse communities.

By working with organizations and philanthropic donors, we are able to fund change and change attitudes through granting and scholarship opportunities.  Equity provides funding through its annual General Grant Cycle to organizations and projects that align with the foundation’s mission and program priorities, as determined each year by the Board of Directors. Equity also provides funding by administering individual Donor Advised Funds, participating in various workplace giving campaigns, and offering scholarship programs.  Equity Foundation also sponsors pride events throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
