Oregon Update: Transition of the Oregon Economic Justice Roundtable
AFN is transitioning its staffing and funded role for the Oregon Economic Justice Roundtable (OEJR) to conclude in December 2025.
AFN is proud to have been a partner in the co-creation of the OEJR to bring funders, advocates, and nonprofits together for sustained racial and economic justice. The intention for OEJR has always been as a community-led space. As a partner, AFN supported fundraising, served as a fiscal sponsor, supported the development of the Economically Just Narrative Project (EJNP), and staffed as co-chair of the Steering Committee, Funders Workgroup, and Narrative Workgroup.
As OEJR has evolved over time to more directly center community decision-making, the AFN Board has decided to transition out of its staffing and fiscal sponsorship roles with the Oregon Economic Justice Roundtable. More details regarding the workgroups and initiatives to advance the vision of OEJR will come from the OEJR Steering Committee.
As a membership-based organization, AFN will continue to support its Oregon-based members and other funders interested in AFN membership through national and regional issues of interest.
