The Reser Family Foundation's grant program targets four key areas of giving—Education, Health, Arts, and Environment—to maximize the benefit for Oregonians. Specifically, the program supports:
- Educational initiatives that foster student success and engagement, including academic and extracurricular programs for students with limited economic means or special needs, as well as Career Technical Education (CTE) and support for first-generation college students.
- Health grants aimed at children and adults facing severe health diagnoses or life-altering events, with a focus on food insecurity, safe housing, and accessibility equipment, among other basic needs.
- Arts grants that engage communities and increase access through visual and performing arts programs, particularly for youth and broad-based community arts initiatives.
- Environmental grants that promote the resiliency of natural environments or the improvement of built environments, with a focus on community engagement and sustainable development projects that have already secured a significant portion of their required funding.
The foundation also offers a Fast Track Grant Program for smaller funding requests, streamlining the process for eligible organizations.
