Give!Guide is Here — Let's Do This!

It's time to celebrate the collective impact of Portland's amazing nonprofits: the Give!Guide is here! We have an ambitious goal of raising $25,000 from November 1st to December 31st, and we ask you to join us in making a commitment to the future of media through Open Signal’s Give!Guide Campaign.

Open Signal’s mission is to nurture the change-making power of community media in service of a just and equitable world. We do this by building and maintaining relationships with creative individuals who share their stories, knowledge, and voices to ensure that community media remains vibrant and inclusive.

Every donation helps Open Signal to continue innovating in our work with Portland's talented and trail blazing media makers. Thanks to YOUR support, we are able to provide accessible education and resources. We connect artists with tools, technology, experience, and mentorship — creating pathways to employment and reinforcing the civic fabric that sets Portland apart in the Northwest.

Over the past year we’ve been able to support a docuseries inviting local dialogue on race and racism, a cooking show for those experiencing vision loss, improv comedy through the lens of people of color, and so many more projects that create a space and home for Portlanders across identities. 

What's in it for you?
