A family foundation promoting
social equity
in Oregon communities
We believe systems change is the most powerful way to address the root causes of inequity and bring about positive social transformation.
Yarg Foundation believes in meaningfully committing to the organizations and communities which serve Yarg’s mission.
In 2026, the Yarg Foundation
is focusing on the final implementation of the two primary funding initiatives since 2020: the multi-year, $5M Justice Reform Initiative and the multi-year, $5M Healthy Families Initiative. We are also committed to our focus areas of Civic Engagement and Climate Change. Our 2026 grant budget of approximately $1M is almost completely allocated to multi-year grants in these areas and there are no new open grant opportunities at this time.
Yarg continues to stand firm in our commitments to center community voices and to serve as a connector in the philanthropic and non-profit landscape. In the event that we do have open grant opportunities they will be posted on our website and we will reach out to our grantees in alignment with those opportunities.
