The Jubitz Family Foundation is dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural forests and freshwater habitats in and around the Mount Hood region. With deep roots in Hood River and Portland, our mission is influenced by our familial history and the tradition of maintaining a healthy natural environment for future generations.
The Jubitz Family Foundation's grant program focuses on environmental restoration and advocacy efforts aimed at protecting and restoring native ecosystems within the Mount Hood National Forest region and its neighboring communities. The program has a deep connection to the area, highlighting the importance of preserving its freshwater and forest ecosystems. The foundation supports creative solutions to environmental challenges, aiming for resilient river and forest ecosystems that ensure the production of cool, clean streams and vibrant older forests. Their measurable objectives include preventing the harvesting of old growth forests, doubling the protected forestland, stabilizing and supporting fish populations, and preserving cool, clean drinking water for local communities.
