About Gray Family Foundation (Portland, OR)

The Gray Family Foundation is founded on the belief that fostering an understanding and appreciation of our natural world is a crucial part of a child’s education. The Gray Family Foundation, a supporting organization of The Oregon Community Foundation, continues the philanthropic legacy of John and Betty Gray by sustaining a permanent organization based on faith in the human spirit and a vision of Oregon as a vibrant, inclusive, and civic-minded society. Our mission is to engage the people of Oregon to become active stewards of our communities and natural environments. Gray Family Foundation recognizes that systemic policies and practices have led to disparities that limit opportunities for certain communities to contribute to and benefit from a healthy, thriving, and sustainable Oregon. To address this requires us to examine, challenge, and change assumptions and practices that may reinforce such inequities. We act to respect and amplify the diverse perspectives, traditions, knowledge, and relationships all people in Oregon bring as active stewards of our communities and natural environments. Our vision is an inclusive, equitable, and diverse state with opportunities for all people living in Oregon to strengthen their connection to place through meaningful experiences.
