2025 Partners in Resilience Sponsorship Program
As a valued member of the Portland business community, we are excited to invite you to join the inaugural class of NECC Partners in Resilience, a new business sponsorship program.
Now, more than ever, our community members need pillars of stability and resilience, which is why we are inviting you to become a Partner in Resilience with us here at Northeast Community Center (NECC). This sponsorship program connects business leaders with programming that both promotes connection and wellbeing of their staff while offering support to the NECC which has served as a “resilience hub” for the past century.
However, we know many community members face significant barriers to access due to the long-term effects of systemic racism, especially for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and low-income families.
By becoming a Partner, your business can help make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most by providing crucial financial resources to support NECC’s programs and general operations while also granting access to programming to your own staff.
Thank you for considering this opportunity and we look forward to working together to build and support a thriving and resilient intergenerational community in NE Portland for all of our neighbors.
Sincerely,
Justin Pabalate
Executive Director
Northeast Community Center
