Our biggest fundraising opportunity

That fundraising is turn is used to support our efforts to grow and build the region and Imagine a Portland where businesses and communities can thrive. The work we do would not be possible without our sponsors or supporters.
By purchasing a ticket or supporting Imagine Portland you are allowing us to continue to make the Case for Growth in Portland and beyond. That growth isn't just building new buildings or more housing - it's about making the region more attractive, more accessible, and more open to newcomers and businesses and increasing opportunities for the existing businesses and communities.

An annual event unlike any other
|
Unlike in past annual events, we will not only be looking backwards, but instead focusing forwards. With the help of the Portland Society of Architects we will help unveil a series of renderings and proposed visions for the city and region. Because of this year's event location, we will also be offering a sneak peak at the future of Thompson's Point. The Case for Growth focuses partly on bringing more people to Portland, but also growing the businesses here, and offering a better way forward for all residents. This event will feature food, drinks, presentations, awards and a vision for the future of our region. |
