Advancing Research, Education, and Community Well-Being across Oregon and the United States
The Oregon Research Foundation advances novel, evidence-based approaches to mental health, resilience, and public well-being by supporting high-impact yet often-overlooked research, educational initiatives, and community programs.
What We Do
Three commitments, one purpose
The Oregon Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that carries out its mission through focused programs and projects — each advancing rigorous inquiry and the public good, so the benefits reach communities in Oregon and across the country.
Research
Supporting public-interest scientific and community-based research.
Education
Providing accessible educational programs and public resources.
Community Well-Being
Strengthening resilience through grants, partnerships, and community initiatives.
We support the quiet, careful work that helps communities thrive — research that serves the public, education that opens doors, and programs that build resilience where it’s needed most.
The Foundation does this work through distinct programs and projects, gathered under a single nonprofit roof — rooted in Oregon, with work that reaches communities across the United States. One of those projects is the Sheri Eckert Foundation.
A project of the Foundation
The Sheri Eckert Foundation
Among the Oregon Research Foundation’s projects is the Sheri Eckert Foundation — advancing public-interest research and education in the state-regulated psychedelic healthcare model pioneered in Oregon and now emerging across the United States.
“Making legal psychedelic healthcare possible.”
