Together: Central Oregon Does Good
Connect. Learn. Get Real.
Together: Central Oregon Does Good is a space for people doing social impact work across Central Oregon — especially those who sometimes feel siloed in their roles.
Whether you’re leading a community-based organization, are boots-on-the-ground, or supporting the work behind the scenes, this space is for nonprofit leaders who care deeply about their communities and want to connect with others who get it.
Find a thought partner (or two).
Share resources — including grant opportunities and potential collaborations.
Increase your organization’s visibility in the community.
Name your needs and your hopes out loud.
Build cross-sector partnerships.
Learn about services and supports offered by other local organizations.
Share your pain points — and your opportunities (job openings, extra materials, ideas waiting for the right partner).
So you can…

Gabriela Peden
Executive Director at Better Together Central OregonConvener. I love socializing with people and hosting events.
Every Executive Director I’ve talked to lately keeps saying the same thing: “It’s so lonely in these roles.” Having a space for connection, shared learning, and just being real with each other feels so needed right now.
Founder and Communications Advisor at Freedom Feels LLCKasey Yanna
Cheerleader. I love sharing resources, feeding people, and talking about the good work that nonprofit + education leaders are doing.
I see this gathering as a lovely opportunity for connection among people doing good work, a space to share insights and opportunities, and an incubator for collaborations.
