The OJCF Book of Community Needs
The Book of Community Needs is a way for organizations in Oregon and Washington State to share their specific needs with our Donor Advisors. Listings will be placed on the OJCF website where they can be viewed by OJCF Donor Advisors at their leisure. OJCF makes no claim that any listing will definitively result in a grant. Therefore, applicants should not take the Book of Needs into consideration for budgeting purposes. Published twice a year on our website, the deadlines for submissions are July 1, and January 2. Listings will be kept on the site for one year or until they expire. Organizations must be considered by the IRS to be 501(c)(3) nonprofit to submit a listing.
