Mission and programs · 2023

• AS OF 2024, VENTURE PORTLAND CELEBRATED 38 YEARS OF SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS THROUGH PORTLAND'S BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE, A GRANTS PROGRAM, NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES, BOARD TRAININGS, WEBINARS, PROMOTIONS, AND OFFER SELECT DISTRICTS A DISTRICT MANAGER AT 36 HOURS PER WEEK THROUGH OUR CATALYTIC INVESTMENT INITIATIVE PROGRAM. IN 2023-24, WE PROVIDED 3,800 HOURS OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. OUR MEMBERS DONATED 3,600 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 BRAND NEW WEBSITE THAT WAS LAUNCHED IN AUGUST 2024. FOR THE SECOND TIME, WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER A "MAJOR IMPACT GRANTS" OPPORTUNITY AWARDING 250,000 IN GRANT DOLLARS TO MULTIPLE BUSINESS DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS. THIS, ALONG WITH OUR SPRING AND CII GRANT CYCLES, ALLOWED US TO GIFT 309,000 IN GRANT FUNDING WITHIN THE SPAN OF TWELVE MONTHS.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
