Many thanks to our partners!
The Oregon Department of Corrections is OHOM’s primary partner. We would not have access to any prison without them. ODOC provides training for our carded volunteers, as well as a supervisor for production support and oversight.
The Spirit Mountain Community Fund is the philanthropic arm of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. Through grant programs, SMCF promotes the sustainability, inclusion and advancement of under-served communities in Oregon, while being reflective of the Tribe’s history, culture and values.
Jerry and Donna have been with OHOM from the beginning. They provided monthly stipends for the first dialogue circle. They seeded the formation of Theatre @ Coffee Creek. And they are continuing their support by offering a matching incentives in our Give!Guide campaigns.
Jerry often quotes Anne Frank: “No one has ever become poor by giving.”
Ronald W. Naito MD Foundation
Ronni S. Lacroute Fund
Ronni S. Lacroute brings a life history deeply engaged in the arts, language and theatre to the cultural scene she so actively supports, focusing especially on the role of the arts in promoting social justice. She was one of OHOM’s first supporters and continues to champion performing arts communities of Yamhill County and Portland committed to arts and social justice.
The Shakespeare in Prison Network has been instrumental in the development of OHOM. Prison arts organizations across the globe participate in the conferences and panel discussions. Our Executive Director also engages in a monthly antiracism practice through this network.
Oregon Community Foundation puts donated money to work in Oregon – more than $100 million in grants and scholarships support Oregonians annually. Impactful giving – time, talent and resources from many generous Oregonians – creates measurable change.
Outside the Frame trains homeless and marginalized youth to be directors of their own films and lives, providing a creative outlet, job training, a public platform, a sense of dignity and possibility. OHOM is partnering with OTF to produce a mini-documentary about incarcerated musicians and the Outta Sight Outta Mind Music studio.
As a practicum host site, OHOM provides one-of-a-kind applied learning opportunities to Pacific University students. They learn first-hand about how a grassroots, artistic nonprofit committed to social justice operates. They gain invaluable insights into the positive contributions they can make–as individuals and part of a collective—toward the vision of transforming the carceral experience in Oregon.
The Collins Foundation has been a significant partner with OHOM since 2015. Their guidance during those years of expansion was strategic and they continue to be impactful.
OHOM joined NAO in September 2020.
The Family Preservation Project promotes individual and system level change to reduce the collateral consequences of parental incarceration on children, families, and the community. OHOM is honored to be a part of their retreats and events.
Steve Einhorn
The Pacific Power Foundation is one of the largest utility-endowed foundations in the US. The foundation was created in 1988 by PacifiCorp, an electric utility serving 1.8 million customers in 6 Western states (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and California). The foundation’s mission, through charitable investments, is to support the growth and vitality of the communities served by Rocky Mountain and Pacific Power.
The Open Road supports and encourages lifelong learning for everyone through classes, talks, dialogue groups, study groups, performances, workshops, seminars and retreats. OHOM’s sister organization begun by our founder in 2020.
We resonate with Marie Lamfrom’s approach:
“We’re unafraid to dream big. Together, we work to animate a legacy of family, trust, optimism, and urgency in our Oregon & Washington State communities.”
21ten Theatre and OHOM teamed up to bring a Bare Bone’s production inside prison.
