Part of what's so remarkable about Portland is our fortitude: there's a vast network of community organizations, motivated entrepreneurs and nonprofit professionals working everyday to ensure a prosperous and inclusive future.
Even with the federal government working to drag us backwards, ignore our history and terrorize BIPOC communities .. this work continues.
We close opportunity gaps, repair and reinforce the bonds in our community not because it's 'virtuous' but because IT GETS RESULTS. A Portland where our best and brightest are empowered and consistently invested in is a Portland that feeds more spirits and fulfills more dreams. And it's within reach.
Our partnership with AshbeanPDX Marketing afforded us an opportunity to showcase just such an effort: a grant writing workshop for Black United Fund of Oregon's Nonprofit Leadership Incubator, hosted by Ashlan Glazier-Anderson and Adrienne Livingston.
Leaders from foundations and nonprofits across the city attended to exchange ideas and best practices for seeking funding for their most transformative community programs.
Ashlan and Adrienne's expertise from their grant writing and consulting work pointed towards some clear lessons: dream big, ask lots of questions, be tactical in your grant applications and document EVERYTHING.
The way these leaders remain laser-focused on their organization's potential for impact is remarkable and inspiring, and at this point, they have decades of experience transforming lives and pushing Portland forward.
Partners from OnPoint Community Credit Union were on-hand to talk about funding opportunities, and the materials were part of a suite of programming from the The People's Nonprofit Accelerator.
We'll be collaborating with AshbeanPDX Marketing throughout the year and look forward to sharing more highlights of their work in the community.
It's exactly the sort of work Human Centric Media is interested in: how do we use this time to grow, ask bigger questions, and solve bigger problems?
