About Friends of KSLM
Mission & Vision
Positive community impact for the Willamette Valley — through awareness, outreach, and the local organizations doing the work.
Our Vision
A Willamette Valley where every local nonprofit has the visibility, volunteers, and resources it needs — so every neighbor in need can be reached by the people working to help.
The Challenge
Growing community needs are outpacing local capacity.
Across the Mid-Willamette Valley, more neighbors are looking for housing, food, counseling, and family support. Local nonprofits and charities are working hard to meet that need — and often need more awareness, volunteers, and donations to keep up.
Our Approach
A support system for the organizations doing the work.
Friends of KSLM connects nonprofits with the people, attention, and resources their missions deserve.
Community awareness & media outreach
We help local nonprofits tell their story so the people who want to help can find them — through campaigns that promote fundraisers, volunteer needs, and in-kind donation drives.
Public service broadcasting
Public service announcements and on-air features raise the visibility of community needs and the organizations meeting them across the Willamette Valley.
Workshops & collaborative grants
Educational workshops in storytelling, PSAs, and outreach pair with Community Impact Grants that direct support where mission alignment and public benefit are clearest.
Who Benefits
A stronger community, together.
Nonprofits & charities
Amplified reach for fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and donation drives — so more organizations can keep their doors open and keep serving neighbors in need.
The Willamette Valley community
Stronger local services for housing, food, counseling, youth and family support — and more connected neighbors who know how to help.
Business supporters
A meaningful, tax-deductible way to invest in the community, with neutral recognition aligned to nonprofit standards and public benefit.
Together, we can help good work reach more people.
