Donation Goal: $350,000

The MLK Dream Run does BIG things. The intention of the MLK Dream Run from its inception in 2012 was to raise money to support our youth entrepreneur training and our small business training program, prioritizing underserved BIPOC community members to align with Dr. Kings’ vision of socio-economic justice for all.  The process was a journey of organizational capacity building, program development, client engagement and advocacy.  Because of our community's generous support, funds raised from the MLK Dream Run our staff has been able to provide over 5,520hours of small business technical support to 250 small BIPOC owned businesses and 25 youth entrepreneurs each year.   Thats a total of 66,240 hours of technical support for small businesses and 300 youth entrepreneurs served over the course of this event. Check out some of our work capture through our PDX Black Rose Podcast and video training program that helps youth entrepreneurs capture the stories of our small business communities.
