Mission

SWNI empowers citizen action to improve and maintain the livability of Southwest neighborhoods

990-EZ for the year ended June 30, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. (SWNI) provides a safe, welcoming and inclusive means of addressing community livability issues. SWNI is the district coalition for 16 of Portland's 95 neighborhood associations. SWNI purchases Zoom licenses so each neighborhood can meet safely online to discuss livability issues. When conditions allow SWNI helps with safe in-person meetings such as outdoor picnic and concerts. SWNI has well ventilated meeting space when COVID conditions in Portland allow for indoor meetings. SWNI is an all volunteer run organization with over one hundred enthusiastic participants. SWNI is funded entirely by community contributions. In the fiscal Year 2022-2023 SWNI received donations from 55 individuals and a few small corporate donations. SWNI is the fiscal sponsor for many small neighborhood funds. One of SWNI's most important goals is inclusiveness and making sure everyone is welcomed. In September 2022 SWNI partnered in holding a Native American Beaver Festival that was well attended and reviewed. We are sponsoring another festival for September 2023. SWNI services include a web page and email lists for each neighborhood and committee to communicate with members and the public to conduct meetings. SWNI serves as fiscal sponsor for 23 restricted accounts that allow neighborhood associations to conduct business and events. The SWNI Board also prepared a "Plan to restore Full Coalition Services for S/SW Residents" in March 2023 and submitted it to Portland's Office of Community and Civic Life.
