<p>With economic turmoil spreading from financial markets to local communities, it’s a tough season for raising funds to start or support good causes. Join us for this free event on December 10th to explore diverse ideas and new models for “financing the good.”</p>
<p>Panelists representing banking, angel investing, micro-philanthropy, and grant funding will discuss innovative approaches for funding social change that reflect shifts in the way their organizations do business. Specifically, they will highlight opportunities for "average" Portlanders to obtain funding for their social change projects and visions.</p>
<p>During the workshop segment, learn tips and tricks for obtaining one of Portland's community building or environmental grants, discover how community currency can fund social change, talk with a lawyer about how to apply for a 501(c)(3), learn how a social stock market generates seed funding for launching good ideas and how to implement "sustaining strategies."</p>
<p>Panelists:
Mark Moffenbier, Shorebank Pacific
Mark Holloway, Social Venture Partners Portland
Amy Pearl, ChangeXchange Social Stock Market
Joy Hunt, Vision into Action Grants</p>
<p>Workshops
Angela Southwick, Neighbors West-Northwest Neighborhood Grants
Emily Rice, Community Watershed Stewardship Program Environmental Grants
Janelle Geddes, Metro Grants
John Brown, Rooms for Peace
Alan Rosenblith, Community Prosper, community currency
Nancy Murray, Community Development Legal Clinic</p>
<p>The forum is sponsored by Portland-based nonprofit, Springboard Innovation. Springboard's mission is to launch community-led community change. The purpose of the forum is to empower "average" Portlanders with the resources and tools needed to take action to solve problems our society is facing.</p>
