Strong rural communities strengthen Oregon.
Across Rural Oregon, small communities are working every day to care for their neighbors, protect the places they call home, and build services and resources that larger communities may already have close at hand. We are one of those communities.
Here in the Row River Valley, we have learned how much can happen when local knowledge and determination are met with people and organizations willing to work alongside us. Our partners bring expertise, funding, equipment, land, technical assistance, and experience that help turn community ideas and volunteer effort into lasting improvements.
We are proud of what is being built here, and we know our valley is only one part of a much larger Rural Oregon story. Communities across the state are finding their own ways to meet local needs, strengthen local capacity, and make sure where someone lives does not determine whether their community has the opportunity to be safe, prepared, connected, and strong.
The partners recognized here are helping make that possible in the Row River Valley. We are grateful to have them beside us.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our closest partnerships begin here at home. These organizations help us reach neighbors, share resources, understand local needs, and carry community projects forward.
PUBLIC, EMERGENCY & TECHNICAL PARTNERS
Rural communities depend on strong relationships beyond their own boundaries.
These partners bring funding, technical knowledge, emergency planning, specialized expertise, and public resources that help us carry local priorities forward.

FUNDING & PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS
Investment in a small rural community can make a large impact.
Our funding and philanthropic partners have helped the Row River Valley turn local ideas and volunteer effort into real work. Their investments have supported firefighter equipment and training, wildfire mitigation, emergency preparedness, community programs, organizational capacity, and the development of permanent fire and emergency response infrastructure.
Many of these relationships began when our organization was very young. We are grateful to the foundations, Tribal charitable funds, cooperatives, businesses, and other funders that have taken the time to understand our community and invest in what local residents are working to build.
BUSINESS & IN-KIND PARTNERS
Some of the most valuable support our community receives comes through donated land, materials, equipment, professional expertise, reduced-cost services, and businesses willing to lend a hand.
These partnerships help stretch limited rural resources and make projects possible that would otherwise be difficult for a small community to take on.
