Why Give?
Fund Neighborhood Projects
Everyone deserves and benefits from creating, beautifying, and maintaining the spaces they live, work, and play in. Your donation buys supplies and planning support for neighborhood projects and community events. By contributing, you reduce the financial barrier for people to build gathering spaces and create community events in their neighborhoods that everyone can enjoy.
Support Community Workshops
We provide technical assistance and training to residents navigating city permitting, design, building, and event management processes. Your contribution helps us offer these workshops for building local capacity everywhere at free and reduced rates.
Maintain Tool Library
We manage a shared inventory of painting tools and other equipment for Portlanders to use. Financial support allows us to replace broken tools, restock safety gear, and train volunteers in proper management.
