The Collins Foundation Grantmaking ... Reimagined!
Thank you for your interest in The Collins Foundation’s Grantmaking Reimagined: A People-Centered Process presentation. Below is a link to a webinar that Nonprofit Association of Oregon hosted on May 6, 2025.
During this presentation, we shared:
Key changes to our grantmaking process and what they mean moving forward
Our new relationship-driven approach to better serve nonprofit partners
Opportunities for feedback and dialogue
Update on our new grantmaking process ...
Collins is moving the opening date of our new relational and responsive grantmaking process from May 27, 2025, to June 30, 2025.
The enthusiastic feedback we received from over 300 nonprofit professionals to the Collins Grantmaking Reimagined: A People-Centered Process presentations in Ontario, Portland, and online made two things clear -
- The foundation is headed in the right direction toward making collaborative, low-barrier grantmaking a reality; and
- Before going live, we need to refine our approach to make sure the process is useful for Oregon's nonprofit organizations.
