Make a donation
Support our mission by contributing today.
The Urbanist Coalition of Portland is an advocacy organization with a mission to say yes to housing and build complete walkable neighborhoods that are served by transit. Most of our work is advocacy work. We have a point of view and we want to share it. This is why we are structured as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. This means that we are free to advocate for the issues that are important to us but donations made to us are not tax deductible. Some well known 501(c)(4) organizations are: the Sierra Club, the Human Rights Campaign, or YIMBY Action.
We are a small volunteer organization made up of people who are passionate about urbanism and the Portland area. We want to make sure any donations we receive reflects this. We have set a limit of $500 to receive from anyone in a given month. This should hopefully give people the flexibility to make one time donations donations if they prefer while keeping ourselves community supported. Our expenses are very low so small amounts go a long way! Donations will go towards our operating expenses like:
Hosting this website
Sending out our monthly newsletter
Getting space for our meetings
Printing posters and flyers
Please only donate what you can. There are lots of other ways to get involved!
