History

The Ezell Fund is a charitable fund established by the late Mary McKinney Ezell and Flay Ezell.  Mary and Flay were proud Oregonians and longtime residents of Northeast Portland until their deaths in 1998 and 2002, respectfully. The fund’s giving reflects their love for the community they were a part of, and their hope that the community would grow and thrive into the future.  The funds focus on cared for and caring children, strong families, opportunities for all citizens to succeed, and recognition of the importance of animals in people lives were truly at the core of what Mary and Flay believed in.
