Empowering Portland’s social service sector
Working toward a more equitable and healthier future for our greater Portland community.
Our Purpose
-
Education
We aim to educate Portland-area nonprofits about the rich tapestry of social service providers and government agencies offering resources in our community.
-
Networking
Nonprofits and government agencies who work in the same arenas don’t get enough chances to connect. By introducing community members we can all make a greater impact.
-
Collaboration
We say it again and again: we’re better together. By collaborating on comprehensive, one-stop-shop events, we can better support our community in need.
Better together
At the CSN, we truly believe that we’re better together. We connect Portland-area nonprofits, government agencies and other community stakeholders to help our neighbors in need.
