Grant Information

Blanche Fischer Foundation has been around since the early '80s. Since that time, it is (conservatively) estimated that the Foundation has granted close to $1 million in individual grants to people with physical disabilities in Oregon. The average grant award is $600.

Applicants need to meet three criteria:  

1. Must be an Oregon resident
2. Must have a disability of a physical nature
3. Must demonstrate financial need

The application is available on their website, www.bff.org. It is also available via the US mail. (Applications are mailed the same day they're requested.) Please call Kristi at 503.246.4941 with any questions.
