As part of a strategic realignment to address emerging needs and maximize our impact, the Chambers Family Foundation will no longer provide financial support to organizations within Deschutes County. This decision, while difficult, reflects our commitment to adapting our efforts to meet new challenges and does not diminish our appreciation for the incredible work and positive impact you have achieved.

History
Carolyn Silva Chambers
(1931-2011)
Learning the importance of giving back to the community from her parents, Carolyn Chambers established the Chambers Family Foundation in 1999. She was an astute businesswoman and a communications pioneer in the early days of cable television. In 1960, she was granted a license for KEZI-TV, the ABC television affiliate in Eugene, Oregon. She combined her business acumen with her love of Oregon and its people to create the Chambers Family Foundation.
