Guidelines
The Juan Young Trust was established under the will of Juan Young and began funding grants in February of 2000. Grant making authority is vested solely in the two individual trustees.
Grants are awarded to 501(c)(3) organizations based in Oregon. No grants are made outside Oregon. Grants are funded for projects and activities to enhance the health, education and welfare of children under the age of 21 years old.
GENERALITIES:
Grants are generally limited to projects and programs conducted by qualified organizations within the state of Oregon, with emphasis on the Portland Area. Grants for annual operating budgets, debt retirement, or to help defray deficits are not favored. Grants are usually awarded for a limited time, such as one or two years.
The trust is unlikely to make any substantial grants in the field of religion.
LIMITATIONS: Activities or programs NOT supported by the trust.
- Assistance to individuals, except as participants are chosen by the grantee institution in an organized scholarship program.
- Program-related loans or investments.
- Efforts to carry on propaganda or to influence legislation.
- Grants to organizations classified as “private foundations” under sec. 509(a) of the internal revenue code.
