SE Uplift says good-bye to Vibe of Portland and hopes to welcome new tenant at Tabor Commons this fall!
SE Uplift is sad to say good-bye to Vibe of Portland after nearly 3 years of tenancy. We wish Vibe of Portland so much luck and love as they reimagine how to provide arts education during an unprecedented time for so many organizations and small businesses who work directly with community.
SE Uplifts hopes to fill the space as soon as possible using a nearly identical evaluation criteria used in 2017 when Vibe was selected. The criteria is centered around our mission, and the community feedback we collected in 2016. SE Uplift will also be using our newly adopted equity lens to evaluate proposals based on the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) work and documents approved in 2020 by our Board of Directors (available here). We also recognize, given the conditions created by the pandemic, that Tabor Commons may not be used as a “community space” at this time and we will do our best to meet all other priorities identified by the community, as appropriate, for our current conditions and own equity goals.
Tabor Commons Proposal Process
SE Uplift is pleased to release a Request for Proposals to rent the property to a non-profit for a period agreed upon between the lessee and lessor.
RFPs Due: SE Uplift will do a first review of proposals received by end of day October 23rd. However, we reserve the right to continue to receive and review proposals until the space is filled by a qualified candidate.
For additional information, contact Leah Fisher at Leahf@seuplift.org.

The poster image created by Micah Bazant and following words are from Justseeds.org
This poster was originally created by Micah Bazant for the organization Justice for Families for their “Night Out for Safety & Democracy” event, which is an alternative to the police-and-neighborhood-watch-sponsored National Night Out. In the course of designing them, George Zimmerman was found innocent for the murder of Trayvon Martin, and the poster’s message took on a new level of meaning and urgency.

Edúcate Ya needs your help! Please considering making a donation!
|
|
One of our former Small Grantees, Edúcate Ya needs community support right now. They are starting a fund to address the current needs of our staff and teachers whose incomes are being adversely impacted by COVID-19. With most classes and events being canceled or postponed to reduce the spread of COVID-19, people who make income fully implementing programs through outreach, presentations, trainings and classes are losing their means to support their well-being.
To donate to Edúcate Ya's Gofundme fundraiser, click here.
