Community Partnerships and Sponsorships

Providence reaches out in countless ways to help fulfill the needs in our communities. Our partnerships with other organizations and agencies that share our commitment to serving the poor and vulnerable are an important part of this outreach. We hold tremendous respect for the work that our community partners provide for some of Oregon's most vulnerable citizens. Our partners, in turn, tell us they appreciate the support they receive from Providence.

Providence supports many community organizations through funding from the Providence Community Grants Council and Providence Partners in Health.

Here are just some of the groups that have partnered with us in serving the needs of our communities, through Providence-sponsored grants, donations and sponsorships:

"Providence was one of the first corporate sponsors of De La Salle North Catholic High School and has supported us substantially and consistently for seven straight years. Providence was willing to take a chance on an innovative new model of education and, through participation in our Corporate Internship Program, has provided access to college preparatory education to what is typically a very marginalized population. By the time a student has completed his internship at Providence, the student will have engaged in work activities few of their peers will have encountered, such as goal setting and performance reviews, while at the same time having helped provide health care to the community. In a very real sense, Providence is transforming lives and changing destinies."
