The Contingent

The Contingent empowers leaders and mobilizes community for the common good. We are a 501(c)(3) venture nonprofit that is actively addressing many of the largest injustices and vulnerabilities facing Oregonians today. At a time when the status quo is a divided society, we take the lead to bridge that divide. We ask hard questions. We take risks. We link arms with our neighbors, including business partners, nonprofits, foundations, faith communities, and government agencies to spark and drive action. From mentoring to mobilizing volunteers to restructuring systems that have worked for some at the cost of others, we prioritize uplifting and empowering leaders to transform their communities.
