There are 328 Opportunity Zones (OZ) in the Northwest. Check out this map or this list of Qualified Designated Opportunity Zones by County. Is your community within an Opportunity Zone and you're not quite sure what it means for your foundation or your community? You're not alone.

Our Discussion Leaders will highlight the many ways that philanthropy can play a role to support specifically rural and Tribal communities including:
Discussion Leaders include:
What this call is: This call will be particularly useful for place-focused foundations including community foundations, family foundations and issue-focused funders who support the vitality of our Northwest places that we call home particularly in rural and Native communities.
What this call is not: This is not your regular webinar nor is it a technical impact investing call. This Funder Exchange will be facilitated as a learning meeting so that we can learn as a network using lay language and terms. Participants will be asked to join via audio and video to enhance everyone's meeting experience (most cell phones have built-in cameras that can be used!). Due to the nature of this call, we ask that only funders from philanthropic organizations participate unless otherwise invited.
Please contact the following team members for questions:
Participation Eligibility: Danielle Crystal, Membership Manager
Technical Assistance: Mares Asfaha, Program Manager
Content: Lyn Hunter, Director of Regional Strategies & Networks
This webinar is from 1:00pm to 2:30pm PDT.
