Parkrose is one of Portland’s most diverse neighborhoods—and one of its most underinvested.

At Historic Parkrose, we fight for the future of this community by working hand-in-hand with small businesses, families, and youth to build a neighborhood that is safe, thriving, and full of opportunity.

We’re not here to offer charity. We’re here to move resources to where they’re needed most—supporting immigrant- and BIPOC-owned businesses, building walkable and welcoming spaces, and uplifting local leadership through real partnerships.

In the past year alone, we’ve:

• Given out over $1 million in small business support

• Helped launch Parkrose Coffee, the new caffe shop in the district

• Provided zero-interest loans through our Spark Loan Fund

• Cleaned and activated streets with local youth and volunteers

• Advocated for affordable housing, equitable investment, and safer public spaces

Your gift helps us do even more.

We can’t wait on broken systems to take care of Parkrose.

We need people like you—neighbors, donors, partners—who believe that everyone deserves a thriving, dignified place to live and work.

Give Today to Power Local Change

Your donation helps fund:

• Microloans for small businesses

• Public art and youth-led projects

• Culturally inclusive community events

• Advocacy and technical assistance for those who need it most

Together, we can turn overlooked blocks into places of pride.

Thank you for believing in Parkrose.
