Roadmap
 Review Strategy and planning under normal circumstances
 Think about disruptions and additions
 Strategy and planning for the fiscal challenges ahead
 Develop Leadership, partnerships and advisors
 Engage in planning for the less certain future
Winds of Change
 Oregon is facing a $1.4 billion budget shortfall.
 White House Administration’s Cabinet appointments and “Skinny Budget” that was released
BOTH foreshadow changing public policy priorities that will translate into potentially large
program and funding losses that will impact the government and social sector.
 Crisis & Rage - Action and fundraising are already here (Meals on Wheels, PP, Immigration)
 We are still early in the new city council here in Portland but it clear there will be anticipated
and potentially unanticipated changes in local public policy and budgeting decisions.
 Our philanthropic sector, is expanding it is also concentrated and concentrating.

• Total giving by 1,575 funders to 3,240 organizations: $429 million
• Median grant: $6,055
• Number of grants: 16,803
• Change in giving between 2012 and 2014 + 21%
The point is that we have limited philanthropic capacity
relative to the potential changes that are coming.
Even a transformational, ten-year investment of one
billion dollars by the Ford Foundation may be
dwarfed by the money that is going to be potentially
cut out of the federal budget for the next fiscal year
alone.
