Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE PRIMARY MISSION OF SVP PORTLAND IS TO PROVIDE CAPACITY-BUILDING SUPPORT TO THE NONPROFIT GRANTEES WE CALL COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IN 2023, THE PARTNERSHIP OF 100+ INDIVIDUALS INVESTED $120,000 IN CASH GRANTS AND 1839 HOURS (A NON-CASH VALUE OF $459,750) AND TOGETHER, THESE REPRESENT A VALUE OF $579,750 OF COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS INTO A PORTFOLIO OF 12 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF RACE, ETHNICITY, WEALTH, RELIGION, GENDER, OR ZIP CODE HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY, CULTURALLY-RELEVANT EARLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
CCFI: WITH INCREASED INVESTMENT IN MULTNOMAH COUNTY'S PRESCHOOL FOR ALL, OUR COMMUNITY HAS CREATED A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TO MANY MORE OF OUR CHILDREN. ONE OF THE MAJOR CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE/PRESCHOOL IS THE LACK OF AVAILABLE SLOTS. OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS MANY MORE PROVIDERS AND FACILITIES TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE DEMAND. CURRENTLY, THE PATH TO OPENING A NEW OR EXPANDED FACILITY IS DAUNTING FINANCIALLY AND DEMANDING IN TERMS OF TIME AND ENGAGEMENT. CONSEQUENTLY, IN 2022 SVP LAUNCHED THE CHILD CARE FACILITIES INITIATIVE (CCFI), WITH THE GOAL OF SHIFTING THE PORTLAND METROPOLITAN CHILDCARE FACILITIES MARKET TO MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY CONNECT SUPPLY AND DEMAND WITH MINIMAL SUBSIDIES AND INTERVENTIONS. IN 2024, THIS PROGRAM WILL SHIFT TO CRAFT3.
THE EQUITY COLLABORATIVE IS COMPOSED OF SIX PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS: BLACK PARENT INITIATIVE (BPI), IMMIGRANT & REFUGEE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION (IRCO), KAIROSPDX, LATINO NETWORK, PCUN (PINEROS Y CAMPESINOS UNIDOS DEL NOROESTE) AND NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH AND FAMILY CENTER (NAYA). SVP PORTLAND PROVIDED GRANT FUNDING TO THE EQUITY COLLABORATIVE AND SERVED AS ITS FISCAL COORDINATOR AND LEAD CAPACITY BUILDER. USING GRANT FUNDS, THEY ARE WORKING COLLECTIVELY TO INCREASE INVESTMENTS IN CULTURALLY-SPECIFIC EARLY CHILDHOOD PRACTICES AND SHIFT THE PUBLIC NARRATIVE IN ORDER TO MAKE RACIAL EQUITY A PRIORITY IN OREGON'S EARLY EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE PROGRAM WAS SHIFTED TO CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE IN 2023.
AS PART OF SVP PORTLAND, THE ENCORE FELLOWS PROGRAM PROVIDES A SOURCE OF NEW TALENT FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, HELPS INDIVIDUALS TRANSITION INTO SOCIAL-IMPACT WORK, AND GIVES CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS A NEW WAY TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THEIR COMMUNITIES. ENCORE FELLOWS ARE CAREFULLY MATCHED WITH THEIR HOST NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR A TIME-LIMITED PROJECT AFTER RETIRING FROM A PROFESSIONAL CAREER. IN 2023, 36 FELLOWS WERE MATCHED AND PROVIDED MORE THAN 30,000 HOURS OF WORK.
