Marcia H Randall Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The Foundation contributes only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- Its filings show grants mainly in Oregon, although no geographic focus is stated, so an Oregon organisation serving children, young people, schools, health services or the arts may fit its pattern of giving if it can reach the Foundation through an existing connection.
- Most of its grants are modest: half of its 94 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $5,000 and $105,000, which is a typical band rather than a ceiling.
- Repeat funding is common, with 58% of grant dollars in the latest filing going to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so building a relationship matters more than the timing of a request.
Overview
Marcia H Randall Foundation is a US private foundation based in Lake Oswego, OR.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings describe the grants as support and do not set out a more specific purpose. Recorded recipients include organisations serving children and young people, including child-focused charities, youth programmes and reading initiatives; schools; health centres and hospitals; museums, libraries, public media and performing-arts bodies; and food banks. They also include environmental and historical organisations. The recipient record is overwhelmingly Oregon-based, with only a small number of grants recorded outside the state. It shows a varied set of supported charitable organisations rather than a single named field or a stated programme for applicants.
