Gordon Elwood Foundation

Direct Non-grant Charitable Activities

In addition to awarding dozens of cash grants each year, the Gordon Elwood Foundation is proud to serve the Southern Oregon community with direct charitable activities. The goal of our direct charitable activities is to increase the leadership, resources, and capacity of the nonprofit sector in ways that money alone cannot.

"The highest level of giving is doing so
in order to strengthen another human being
until he needs to ask help of no one."

Maimonides (1135–1204)
Jewish philosopher, jurist and scientist

Our direct charitable activities strive to:

  • Build capacity among grantees.
  • Encourage grantees to share their knowledge and expertise.
  • Promote collaberation among grantmakers with simliar interests.
  • Leverage resources to bring attention to community crisis and vitalization opportunities.
  • Create opportunities for new thinking and innovative approaches on community issues.
  • Provide leadership development, training, and coaching for staff and volunteers of organizations.
  • Staff advisory boards and councils that are aligned with our mission and purpose.
  • Support emerging nonprofits.

Here is a list of some of the nonprofits we work with to strengthen the communities we serve:
