Ralph & Bunny Schlesinger Foundation

The Ralph and Bunny Schlesinger Foundation was originally founded by Ralph and Bernice Schlesinger in 1982. The Foundation’s purpose is to enhance the Oregon and S.W. Washington communities in the areas of medical research and care, higher education and by promoting the welfare of our communities.

The Schlesinger Family Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization which was established in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) by Ralph and Bunny Schlesinger to make philanthropic grants and gifts in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Their primary interests were to benefit medical research and facilitate educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged students. In continuing their legacy, the Foundation has been the primary sponsor of The Virtuoso Evening event in the past. This annual event has raised over $2 million dollars for four local charities dedicated to research and treatment in the fight against diabetes. In addition we have sponsored numerous scholarships at Portland State University and other academic institutions helping many students further their education. In 2015, the Schlesinger family is being honored by Portland State University with an award at the Simon Benson Dinner for their philanthropic work in the Portland community. The Schlesinger Family Foundation is committed to making a positive difference in our community.
