Community Website Partnership’s network of websites serving rural Oregon also offers a free Directory and advertising services that help local businesses and nonprofits reach wider audiences and build visibility across the state. The Community Websites have been critical in helping under-resourced areas of Oregon stay informed during Covid-19, recent wildfires, and community recovery efforts. Community Partnership’s websites are viewed by more than 180,000 people a year and have been identified as a “trusted source of information” in rural Oregon. Here at Community Website Partnership, we aim to serve rural Oregonians to be informed and resilient and achieve our mission to strengthen rural communities by bringing people together through technology. So far, we’ve raised $300,000 to help over 10 regions across rural Oregon be more connected, informed, and engaged locally to make their communities better. However, our work is not done. Currently, rural Oregon communities need our help more than ever because of the challenges due to the pandemic, isolation, and lack of resources for rural communities. Our goal is to raise $5,000 this fall to engage rural youth, provide vital, local emergency information when wildfire, tsunami, or floods strike, and to increase volunteerism. To do this important work in rural Oregon, Community Website Partnership is hosting an event and auction, Trivia Time: Give a Little Kindness, on November 13 in Coos Bay.
