Vision & Mission

We call Oregon home.

Whether you live in a city with tall buildings, a suburb with tall corn stalks, a town with tall trees, or a village with tall waves, we all stand to benefit from healthy environments, equitable communities, and sustainable economies everywhere in Oregon.

In this place full of wonderfully diverse landscapes and people, we face many challenges to sustainability. We also know that these challenges are urgent, powerful, and interconnected, and so our response to addressing them must be too.

Our vision is to bring about a near future in which Oregon has made major progress toward sustainability—by coming together each year on Earth Day (April 22nd) to create a groundswell of support for the nonprofits in our state who are leading us there.

Earth Day Oregon’s nonprofit partners are on the front lines of transformational change. They are accelerating us on the path to achieving the United Nations’ 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals, right here in Oregon. These goals are a blueprint for action in intersecting areas to achieve sustainability—from climate justice to clean energy, clean water, quality education, good health, ending poverty, and more.

Whether it’s your business, your organization, or yourself—if you share our vision, join the Earth Day Oregon community that’s on a mission to make it a reality.

Earth Day Oregon’s Mission:

To organize a statewide coalition of partners that inspires collective giving and action on April 22nd every year—to amplify the impact of local nonprofits who make Earth Day their every day.


Our Impact

Earth Day Oregon leads an annual statewide campaign that engages Nonprofit Partners, Business Partners, and the public to raise awareness and support (over $700,000 since 2019) for Oregon nonprofits who are advancing sustainability in our home state. This is what it means to amplify Earth Day, together.

In the first campaign year of 2019, Earth Day Oregon engaged 22 Nonprofit Partners and 84 Business Partners, generating awareness and $50,000 for the Nonprofit Partners in honor of Earth Day.

In 2022, the fourth annual earth day oregon campaign continued to grow:
