2025 Annual Meeting: What If?

At our 2025 Annual Meeting, Oregon Community Foundation celebrated changemakers and bold ideas driving Oregon forward. We were inspired by visionary leaders from across the state who asked: What if we dreamed bigger for Oregon? And we renewed our commitment to serving all Oregonians.  

“From the original Indigenous people to our newest immigrants, we find our light when we live out our deep belief that everyone belongs in Oregon, and in Oregon, everyone can shine.” — Lisa Mensah, President and CEO
