Anvil is passionate about giving back to the Portland community through our Charity of Choice program. Each quarter, we choose which local non-profit will receive pro-bono marketing services from us. Our team chose five organizations that represent causes that are important to us and we put them in a poll administered through social media. We let our followers decide and we are proud to announce that POIC+RAHS has won our marketing package, a total value of $2,500!
Our team is excited for the opportunity to promote POIC+RAHS’ mission to educate and mentor Portland’s youth. They’re committed to the future success of at-risk youth through the age of 25, providing the highest quality services in education, mentoring, family outreach, employment training, and placement.
Other participating organizations were Camp ELSO, Coast Range, The Dougy Center, and Birch Community Services Inc. We appreciate their support and encourage you to learn more about them.
We began our Charity of Choice program because we wanted to bring value to local organizations through our work, as opposed to monetary assistance. This is a staple on which our President and Founder, Kent Lewis, has founded Anvil. He’s prides himself on forming a team that wants to contribute to the community, to delight and elevate it. You can learn more about it on our community outreach page.
Past winners have included The Oregon Humane Society, Mercy Corps Northwest, Blue Mountain Wildlife, among others. Thank you to everyone who participated this quarter and in the past!
If you are interested in nominating a nonprofit, send an email to Meg and she’ll be sure to make sure you are considered in future Charity of Choice polls!
