WHAT WE DO

WE ARE STEWARDS OF THE COMMUNITY VISION

Here for the long haul, we support the shared Vision of the people in the Siuslaw.

CONNECT, CONVENE, CATALYSE & CELEBRATE

Siuslaw Vision invests in local people. We support their efforts by connecting them with resources needed to accomplish their dream, convening people to further the work, and catalyzing change by providing an administrative or financial boost. Then we celebrate them and their success!

WE SHARE VALUABLE RESOURCES & CONNECTIONS TO CREATE A VIBRANT COMMUNITY HUB

Developing durable and purposeful relationships and networks is an important part of our work. Siuslaw Vision is where people turn when they don’t know how to move forward on a dream they want to accomplish.

CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN OUR COMMUNITY
