Introduction
Putting the plan into action
Partnership Examples
1
The Cradle to Career (C2C) partnership in
Portland and Multnomah County is managed
by All Hands Raised (formerly the Portland Schools
Foundation). It is a collaboration of private,
nonprofit and public sector community partners
that are working to improve educational outcomes
and equity.
2
Greater Portland Inc. is the PortlandVancouver region’s economic development
partnership. It brings private sector industry,
elected officials and economic development
groups together with state and local agencies.
The partnership carries out a coordinated
regional economic development strategy,
including promotion of the region’s assets, and
a coordinated business retention, expansion and
targeted recruitment program to stimulate capital
investment and job creation.

The Diversity and Civic Leadership
Program is a partnership between the City of
Portland and five community-based organizations:
Center for Intercultural Organizing (CIO), NAYA
Youth and Elders Council, Latino Network,
Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization
(IRCO) and Urban League of Portland. The
partnership is designed to increase the voices of all
Portlanders — especially communities of color and
immigrant and refugee communities — in local
decision making and civic life through leadership
development and culturally appropriate
community involvement.
Over the next few years, the Portland Plan partners will continue to work together to implement the plan. For
example:
The City of Portland’s Office of Management and Finance (OMF) and Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
(BPS) will work with the lead partners to produce a Portland Plan progress report in year three of the plan
(fiscal year 2014–2015).
In year five, the city and its partners will produce another progress report and new actions for the next
five years.
For more information on partnerships and how the Portland Plan will be put into action, please see the
Implementation chapter.
