Much of OCJ's early grantmaking was responsive to immediate community needs as we established our organizational foundation, built internal capacity, and developed programming. Currently, our directed grants are more strategic and mission-aligned, enabling us to strengthen our work in holding bad actors accountable and creating lasting systemic change for Oregon consumers.
