Today, we’re showcasing 2019 Outstanding Philanthropic Foundation, the James and Shirley Rippey Family Foundation, honored by the AFP Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter.

Native Oregonians passionate about education and the welfare of children, James and Shirley Rippey utilized their leadership skills and knowledge to establish the James and Shirley Rippey Family Foundation to support these causes.

The mission of the foundation is to support youth services and children’s education in Oregon. Since the foundation’s establishment, it has supported countless organizations and initiatives across the state, including the creation of scholarships at Portland State University and other institutions. 
The foundation has been described as “quiet,” but having immense impact across the community and all of Oregon.
