Local Non Profits Awarded Emergency Response Grants Warm Springs Community Action Team, Latino Community Association, and the Oregon Food Bank all benefited from emergency response grants from Oregon Consumer Justice, an Oregon nonprofit with a mission of advancing consumer protection. A total of more than $1.7 million in emergency response grants were donated to 26 Oregon nonprofit organizations that in turn assist communities across the state in both rural and urban areas. In determining the grant recipients, Oregon Consumer Justice implemented a trust-based philanthropy model, which uses trust as a starting point to break down the traditional power dynamic between funder and grantee and build relationships based on transparency, dialogue and mutual learning. Trust-based grants place the responsibility of due diligence on the grantmaker rather than the grant seeker and simplify and streamline paperwork to remove unnecessary burdens and barriers for grantees.
