Central Oregon Health Quality Alliance
Bend, OR · EIN 81-4098939. Reported 28 grants totalling $803,126 to 24 organizations across tax years 2021-2024. This foundation did not tell the IRS it funds only preselected organizations.
Does this foundation accept applications?
Yes -- on its own tax return. Form 990-PF asks every private foundation whether it makes grants only to organizations it selects itself. Of the 91,758 foundations in our data that made a grant and answered, 78% said yes -- and applying to those is wasted effort. Central Oregon Health Quality Alliance did not check that box on its most recent filing, which puts it in the minority that is at least open to being approached.
How big are its grants?
The median grant is $30,500. Half of everything it gave fell between $23,670 and $40,000; the smallest was $2,000 and the largest $40,000. If you are asking for materially more than the top of that range, you are asking the wrong foundation.
Every organization it funded
This is the complete list from its filings, largest first. Years funded is the number of separate tax years in which the organization received money -- more than one means a real relationship rather than a one-off.

4 of 24 (17%) received money in more than one year over the 4 years we hold.
Measured the way we measure every foundation -- what share of one year's grantees are funded again the next -- this one retains 11%, across 3 year-to-year transitions. The median foundation retains about 67%, so this one is less consistent than most. A high number means its list is close to settled and a newcomer has to displace someone; a low one means it is still moving money around, which is where an opening is.
What the money was for
Taken verbatim from the purpose field of its filings. This is the closest thing to a statement of what this foundation cares about, in its own words.
- Treehouse Therapies Associates
Treehouse Therapies is partnering with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and the Central Oregon Disabilities Support Network(CODSN)to open a therapeutic clinic and directly serve children with special needs who live in the Warm Springs community and the surrounding areas. Currently, there are no such services in that community and families must drive to Redmond and BEnd to access therapy for their children. Coupled with insurance and financial limitations, often these children have to forgo therapy. The funding will go towards paying physical, occupational, and behavioral therapists from Treehouse to be based out of a new clinic in the Warm Springs Early Childhood Education Center to reduce the barriers to accessing high quality care for children in Warm Springs. - One Community Health
This pilot is a collaborative effort in Hood River and Wasco Counties that will serve medically frail older adult patients, with a commitment to increasing services to Latin x and indigenous patients with in-home, patient-centered and integrated care and advocacy support delivered by Community Health Workers(CHWs). Based on the evidence-based GRACE Team Care model, the pilot is spearheaded by the Older Adult Working Group of the Clinical Advisory Panel for the Columbia Gorge Health Council in partnership with One Community Health and the Bridges to Health Pathways Program. Funding will support the adaptation and piloting of new older adult protocols for CHWs, codifying protocols, and developing related continuing education opportunities for pilot staff and CHWs regionally and across the state. - St Charles Health Systems Inc

Tax years, not calendar years, and the most recent year is usually incomplete -- filings arrive about a year late, so a low final year means late paperwork rather than a foundation winding down.

Funders that support the same organizations
These funders gave to organizations this one also funded -- some private foundations, some community foundations and other grantmaking charities. Shared grantees are the strongest available signal that two funders have overlapping priorities, and a funder already backing your peers is a far warmer prospect than one that merely lists your cause.
How to approach this foundation
- Check you are its size. The median grant is $30,500. Asking for ten times that is the most common way small organizations waste a submission.
- Check you are in its geography. Its giving is concentrated in Oregon.
- Read the recipient list above for organizations like yours. If nothing on it resembles your work, that is a real answer, and a cheap one to get.
- Look up the current filing before writing. The 990-PF names the foundation's officers and, where one exists, its application procedure. We link it below.
Where these numbers come from
Everything above is taken from Central Oregon Health Quality Alliance's own Form 990-PF filings, which the IRS publishes in bulk. We used 2 returns (tax years 2021-2022). Nothing here is scraped, inferred, or estimated.
Address of record on the latest return: 1230 Ne 3RD St a-200, Bend, OR, 97701. This is the address the foundation gave the IRS; many small foundations file through an accountant or a bank trust department, so it may not be where post to a programme officer should go.
