About the Foundation

What Is the Blanche Fischer Foundation?

The Blanche Fischer Foundation was founded in 1981 from a trust established by the late Blanche Fischer. The foundation provides assistance to persons residing in the state of Oregon who have a disability of a physical nature who also have demonstrable financial need. The aid may relate directly to the disability or handicap, or may be otherwise used to foster independence. In accordance with the terms of Ms. Fischer's bequest, the foundation does not provide assistance for mental disability.
