about us

Donor tables drive real impact.

The OREGON DONOR ALLIANCE is a statewide organization (aka a “donor table”) for doers and donors to learn together, align funding, and set a winning strategy for Oregon for years to come.

Simply put, ODA is a place where people give collectively around a strategic vision. What makes the Oregon Donor Alliance unique, is that our strategic vision will be built in partnership with leaders and practitioners who are doing the work every day. The Donor members of the Oregon Donor Alliance will have opportunities to sharpen understanding and shared political analysis, learn about the ecosystem of elections and issues, and deepen relationships both with other likeminded donors and with community and organizational leaders throughout Oregon.

We believe that all of us—whether we’re focused on climate change, workers’ rights, housing justice, reproductive freedom, economic opportunity, or public education—can only win if we work together.

Donor tables accelerate change.

More than a regranting organization, the OREGON DONOR ALLIANCE is an active investor that works closely with its partners to align resources, build connection and facilitate impactful conversations towards a shared strategy rooted in racial justice. We are a community of donors that make high-impact philanthropic investments. We do this by:

  • Nurturing a collaborative network of individual and institutional donors grounded in shared values, in a commitment to collective impact, and in transparent collaboration;

  • Fostering learning spaces for donors that translate racial equity values into everyday practices;

  • Helping incubate and pilot innovations through projects and local work to research, plan and test how community-driven campaigns can be scaled up;

  • Developing resource plans with on-the-ground practitioners to invest strategically in long-term progressive change;

  • Investing in long-term infrastructure and moving resources to build power for communities historically sidelined in our democracy.

You can join us in supporting the collaborations that connect us all, while catalyzing and sustaining long-term, durable change. When the elections are over, we will be on the ground, supporting partners, coordinating efforts and pursuing a vision for the long term for building progressive power year-round. Will you join us?
