Hampton Affiliates gives generously to a host of organizations including Portland Opera, Portland Art Museum, Oregon Symphony, Oregon Historical Society, and World Forestry Center, among others. The company was honored at NW/BCA’s "Arts Breakfast of Champions" in 2002 for being the top donor to the arts among medium-size companies. In September 2003 John Hampton was honored nationally with the Business Committee for the Arts "2003 Leadership Award" for his vision, leadership and commitment to the arts.
The Hampton family's commitment to the arts involves board service as well. John Hampton, who passed away in 2006, was a member of the Leadership Council of NW/BCA, was chairman of the Portland Opera Board and Oregon Community Foundation, and was a tireless fundraiser for organizations he believed in, including the Oregon Cultural Trust. Jamey Hampton is past chair of the Pacific Northwest College of Art and of the Northwest Academy, is on the board of Portland Opera, and is the co-founder and artistic director of BodyVox dance company. Cynthia Hampton is on the boards of the Oregon Symphony and PNCA and is a fine art photographer.
