Equitable Giving Circle

Equitable Giving Circle (EGC) is a Black Women and Black Femme led organization aiming to make large economic deposits into Portland BIPOC economy, while also encouraging community healing. We launched in Spring of 2020 with an idea and an ask of the community to trust in this vision and people not only believed us, but funded us.


Supporting Community as a Black-led Organization in Portland

We established our organization with three key branches of work: eliminating food insecurity in Portland, supporting education and equitable housing in Portland, and providing wellness options for the Portland Black community. Since 2020, we have served over 35,000 community members in the Portland metropolitan area. This includes those served in our staple projects. Below is our current (updated Spring 2025) programming.
