Our History
In 2022, Latine/x/a/o community leaders across Oregon came together to en-visión the future for their community. These leaders provided candid feedback to inform Meyer Memorial Trust’s (MMT) developing work, strategic plan, and grantmaking and to make a call to action for MMT and the philanthropic sector at large. (See the detailed report at this link) As a result, several priority areas were identified, and the Visión Comunitaria de Oregon project was formed to move the work forward.
