Program accomplishments
- IN 2024-2025, VENTURE PORTLAND CELEBRATED 39 YEARS OF SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH PORTLANDS BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. WE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES, A GRANTS PROGRAM, NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES, BOARD TRAININGS, WEBINARS, MARKETING AND PROMOTION, AND CONNECTED DISTRICTS TO CITY LEADERSHIP THROUGH OUR DISTRICT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. WE PROVIDED 3,100 HOURS OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. OUR MEMBERS DONATED 2,100 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER TIME TO SUPPORT OUR GOALS AND STRENGTHEN OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. OUR MARKETING AND PROMOTION OF BUSINESS DISTRICTS CONTINUES WITH OUR TWICE-A-WEEK NEWSLETTERS, INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, AND A NEW WEBSITE THAT WAS LAUNCHED IN AUGUST 2024. THANKS TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT, WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO OFFER "MAJOR IMPACT GRANTS," AWARDING A TOTAL OF 250,000 TO MULTIPLE BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. THIS, ALONG WITH OUR SPRING AND CII GRANT CYCLES, ALLOWED US TO GIFT 340,000 IN GRANT FUNDING DURING THE FISCAL YEAR.
