We’d like to thank the following organizations for their support of Vortex2020.

We Win believes our world needs stronger, bolder leadership. Our clients are superheroes for their communities and making the world a better place. We Win is here to support you.

We’re invested in you from the start. We Win Strategy Group only works within our values. We take on the clients doing the work we believe needs doing. So when you win, we win. We keep your campaign true to who you are – and true to your promise of our future.

We’re invested in supporting candidates from underrepresented communities. We focus on working with candidates who are working parents, women, candidates of color and those running in suburban and rural areas.

Old school branding and market strategy models are broken–audience engagement needs to incorporate mobile strategies, community engagement and authenticity. We’re here to help.

We’re challenging companies to make social good a part of their work. Hot Pepper launched Hackathons for Social Good, Internet of Things Labs and is helping to bring Vortex2020 to life–and we can help your organization make the world a better place, too.

We create experiences that transform brands and make people’s lives better.

The mission of the Parks and Recreation Department is to provide and protect—

—outstanding natural, scenic, cultural, historic and recreational sites for the enjoyment and education of present and future generations.

Our mission is simple: to bring Oregonians together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship.

As SOLVE turns 50, we have a lot to celebrate. A half-century of bringing people together, from all walks of life and every corner of the state. Of getting people out and answering the call. Cleaning up our beaches, parks, neighborhoods and natural spaces. Reaching out, digging in and picking up. By restoring vitality, planting new beginnings and keeping invaders at bay. Developing diverse relationships. By partnering, collaborating and engaging. Honoring the pioneers of our past and building on their legacy. Together. With an unstoppable force of volunteers, thirty thousand strong and one hundred percent committed. We are individuals, businesses, neighbors, families and friends. These are our communities. Our unique places. Our rivers and streams, lakes and mountains, land and sea. Our pride and joy. It’s in our nature to protect it for generations to come. Together, we are taking care of Oregon.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild is an outdoor concert series in stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.

We bring a 9-foot Steinway grand piano to the middle of forests, fields, calderas and historical sites for classical music concerts.

To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted to the concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, they can explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests.

In the spirit of the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Music and Theatre Projects, which presented thousands of free concerts and plays in theaters, public spaces and parks across the country during the Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE events are offered primarily in rural communities for free or on a donation basis.

Worthy Brewing, located in Bend, Oregon, was founded in 2012 by Roger Worthington, and first opened its doors February 2013.

Worthy brews a full portfolio of craft beers and operates two full-time pubs –its original location on the east side of Bend and Taps and Tacos downtown. An advocate for the environment, a promoter of science education, a cycling and music enthusiast, and a serious beer drinker – Worthington’s passions are the backbone of Worthy.

The Falcon Art Community is made up of painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, actors and artists—

—who are committed to upholding standards of care and excellence as they create innovative new work. These artists share a common thread: a belief in the values of craftsmanship and vision.

The Ford Family Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation located in Roseburg, Oregon.

Roseburg lies in southern Oregon where the North Umpqua and the South Umpqua rivers join — timber country. Started in 1957, the Foundation now manages large, internal programs and offers scholarships. In addition, the Foundation makes grants to public charities predominantly benefiting communities in rural Oregon and Siskiyou County, Calif. Our heritage comes from such communities and the men and women who created them.

The Oregon Country Fair creates events and experiences that nourish the spirit, —

— explore living artfully and authentically on earth, and transform culture in magical, joyous and healthy ways.

Produce will be an experiential and service based destination that compliments an unconventional retail experience.

Our goal is to create a casually social atmosphere for fashionista’s, artist, entrepreneurs, and those alike that encourages conversation and caters to their lifestyle. Produce is not only a lifestyle brand that provides to men, women, and children, but a noteworthy destination for the Portland culture.

Produce was inspired by the lack of resources in the Portland artist community. The city has a plethora of talented individuals interested in fashion, art, and music, but we have yet to develop the platforms and guidance necessary to take many artists to the next level. Produce will fill help to fill that void and help bridge the gap in our community. Not only will “fresh goods” be available at your local Produce store through our curated selection of apparel, footwear, accessories, & home decor, but we will create opportunities for the creative community of Portland.

EYRST is an independent record label based in Portland, OR.

We partner with artists to provide the tools necessary to fulfill their creative vision and expand their visibility. Our music is inspired by hip hop but strives to push the genre through experimentation.

When you come in to our location, specialists are going to work with you to determine the best way to create your promotional materials.

We are excited about your vision and want to help make the most of your next great idea. At MoreInk, you’ll find we truly are an integrated

Vortex Music Magazine is the definitive chronicle of Portland’s musical vortex.

The Print Edition is published four times per year (since 2014), while digital coverage focuses on immediate access to quick bits of information and media so you can instantly find out what’s happening right now and engage with multimedia content.

Both thoughtfully explore Portland’s music scene, covering aspects and angles often untouched by other media outlets that simply skim the surface of the music community.

Gray Family Foundation is founded on the belief that fostering an understanding and appreciation of our natural world is a crucial part of a child’s education.

Gray Family Foundation, a supporting organization of The Oregon Community Foundation, continues the philanthropic legacy of John and Betty Gray by sustaining a permanent organization based on faith in the human spirit and a vision of Oregon as a vibrant, inclusive, and civic-minded society.

Our mission is to engage people in Oregon as active stewards of our communities and natural environments.

High, how are you? Electric Lettuce is a recreational dispensary with multiple
locations operating on a higher frequency throughout Oregon –

– offering a righteous selection of smoking accessories, cannabis edibles and topicals, concentrates and extracts, and grass, dope, reefer, or whatever they’re calling cannabis these days. Swing by to score some weed or just to enjoy some tunes on vinyl and peruse memorabilia from the 1960s and 70s. Electric Lettuce was founded in 2017, with the mission to bring flower to the people and celebrate the sordid history of marijuana use in America between 1965 and 1971. Just as Timothy Leary did, we encourage you to turn on (your high consciousness), tune in (to the oneness of the world), and dropout (from the mindless rat race).

At Prūf Cultivar, we are thoroughly devoted to the pursuit of precision and beauty in all we do.

While each strain is made up of unique chemistry, the ratio of the psychoactive properties in THC and the therapeutic properties of CBD provides a smart starting point. From there, terpenes profiles drive richness in flavor and experience. Type and terpene vary from cultivar-to-cultivar, but you can keep track by the identifying Prūf number while you explore.

Together we transform generosity into exponential impact.

Our mission is to improve the lives of all Oregonians through the power of philanthropy. As a statewide community foundation we work alongside donors, stewarding their priorities into strategic giving to support diverse communities across Oregon, creating lasting, transformative change.
