The BIPOC Rise Moor Healing Center

In Portland, Oregon, the BIPOC community grapples persistently with a range of challenges, including hate crimes, economic limitations, community self-esteem issues, food insecurity, and climate change inequities. In response to these complex issues, our organization has developed the "Where To Start" program as a comprehensive solution aimed at revitalizing the BIPOC community from within.

The Where To Start program is thoughtfully designed to address internal challenges and empower the BIPOC community. By focusing on internal empowerment, the program aims to equip community members with a diverse set of skills. These include essential comprehension and communication skills, as well as a nuanced understanding of executive functions related to financial intelligence, civic engagement, and the adoption of agrarian and plant-based vegan lifestyles.

These integrated components form a holistic approach, creating a robust foundation for a stress-tested system that fosters life skills and nurtures entrepreneurial mindsets within the community. The program's focus on these four main components aims to address not only systemic barriers but also break the cycle of adversity that has left the BIPOC community particularly vulnerable.

To support the implementation of this program, our organization seeks donations and grant funding. This financial support will enable us to cultivate a prosperous future for the BIPOC community in Portland, addressing the challenges they face and promoting lasting positive change.

We recognize the importance of making the program accessible and inclusive, taking into account the diverse needs and perspectives within the BIPOC community. Regular assessment and adaptation based on community feedback will ensure the program's ongoing effectiveness and relevance.

We are optimistic that the "Where To Start" program will contribute to the resilience and self-sufficiency of the BIPOC community, fostering positive and lasting impacts in Portland.
