Empowering Oregon’s Grassroots Democracy
Oregon Raindrop Fund envisions an equitable and just world with an empowered, well-informed public actively engaged in a thriving democracy.
Advancement Grants
for a Just Oregon
We invest in progressive causes, organizations, and leaders that realize meaningful impacts for their local communities.
In a limited funding field, Oregon Raindrop Fund provides funds to 501(c)(4) organizations and initiatives that may not be attractive to traditional funders.
Progressive change outside traditionally progressive regions
Oregon Raindrop Fund grants prioritize support for funds to organizations in rural and exurban areas across Oregon.
Because democracy work is needed throughout the state, not just in bigger population centers.
