EUGENE, Ore. — The Children’s Legacy Foundation Network (CLF Network) will award $38,500 in grants to 13 Lane County nonprofit organizations during its upcoming Grant Check Presentation Celebration at 6:00 p.m. at Public House in Springfield. The public and members of the media are encouraged to attend this special event recognizing organizations that are strengthening the health, education, safety, and well-being of children and families across Lane County.
The grants will support programs that provide education, mental health services, child abuse prevention and intervention, literacy, recreation, arts access, family support, and opportunities for children and youth throughout Lane County.
For nearly 100 years, the Children’s Legacy Foundation Network, formerly Eugene Active 20-30, has brought together young professionals committed to improving the lives of children in our community through philanthropy, volunteerism, and service. In the last decade alone, the organization has awarded $505,000 to local nonprofits working to ensure children have the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
This year’s grant recipients include:
· #instaballet
· Boys & Girls Clubs of Emerald Valley

· Connected Lane County
· Eugene Education Foundation
· Eugene Science Center
· Family Relief Nursery
· Head Start of Lane County
· Kids FIRST
· Lane County Diaper Bank
· Ophelia’s Place

Grant recipients were selected through a competitive application process focused on programs that directly improve the well-being of children in Lane County. Funded projects include trauma-informed mental health services, child abuse prevention and recovery, therapeutic early childhood education, scholarships for science education field trips, inclusive arts programming for youth with disabilities, literacy initiatives, and family support services.
“For nearly 100 years, the Children’s Legacy Foundation Network has brought together generations of young professionals who share a common belief: that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive,” said Mike Kingsley, incoming President of the Children’s Legacy Foundation Network. “That commitment continues today through the generosity, volunteerism, and leadership of our members. In fact, during the last decade alone, our network has raised and invested $505,000 in organizations serving children and families throughout Lane County.
Every dollar awarded represents a community coming together to support children as they learn, heal, grow, and discover their potential. Whether it’s helping a child recover from trauma, access educational opportunities, build confidence, receive critical support services, or simply experience the joy of belonging, these grants create meaningful change in young lives every day.
Our tagline says it best: ‘Together we give, together they thrive.’ These grants are a celebration of what becomes possible when people unite around the belief that every child matters and every child deserves a chance to succeed.”
The grant recipients represent a broad cross-section of organizations working to address some of the most pressing challenges facing children today. From preventing child abuse and expanding access to mental health services, to creating opportunities for learning, creativity, exploration, and connection, these investments reflect the CLF Network’s ongoing commitment to building a stronger future for Lane County’s children.
