Foundations for a better oregon

Chalkboard Project is the sole initiative of Foundations for a Better Oregon (FBO).

Foundations for a Better Oregon was formed in 2003 by five of Oregon’s leading foundations: The Collins Foundation, The Ford Family Foundation, JELD-WEN Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust and The Oregon Community Foundation. In January 2008, The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation joined the FBO consortium.

FBO engages Oregon’s philanthropic community in discussions about – and ultimately, solutions to – the many challenges facing our state. Member foundations have different individual giving philosophies and priorities, and their participation in FBO allows them to combine some of their resources to effect change they cannot make on their own.
