There is more work to do. Your partnership will help us:
Fund the work of Rockwood Speaks!
Rockwood Speaks is our community engagement program where we gather together Rockwood residents to ask questions and listen to the needs of our community, with the goal of co-creating solutions to the problems we face in Rockwood.
Open a new playroom and teen center at The Rockwood Tower.
The Rockwood Tower is our shelter for vulnerable houseless women and families. We need funding so more than 80 children who call the Rockwood Tower home will have a place to play and call home.
Implement new children’s educational initiatives.
Our ESL program needs funding that will create new initiatives that will result in promoting academic achievement for the children in our community.
Close the opportunity gap for entrepreneurs who want to start and grow small businesses.
Our newest initiative, East County Business Bridge, comes alongside aspiring entrepreneurs in East Multnomah County who face many inequities and barriers in their entrepreneurial journey. This program builds bridges of connection — creating access to training, support, and resources.
"Your support shows how much you care about the people of Rockwood and means so much to our work!"
