Overview

Mission

Assist in the establishment, maintenance, and promotion of education, charity and community services for the greater Willamette Valley, especially East Salem, by operating a thriving community center.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Blanchet Community Foundation manages the East Salem Community Center which provides facilities to the local school district, churches and other non-profit organizations. The grounds are utilized as practice fields for softball and soccer, and any individual group is able to use the event space to host community events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
