501(c)(3) · Willamette Valley
Helping local nonprofits reach the people who want to help.
Friends of KSLM supports charitable organizations across the Willamette Valley through community awareness, media outreach, educational workshops, and collaborative grant programs.
The Challenge
Local needs are growing. Nonprofits need more reach.
Across the Mid-Willamette Valley, community organizations are doing remarkable work — and they need more neighbors to know about it.
Families need essentials
Food, housing, clothing, and care remain pressing needs for many neighbors across the valley.
Youth & vulnerable members
Young people, seniors, and those facing crisis need consistent, compassionate community support.
Nonprofits stretched thin
Local organizations do meaningful work with limited staff, funding, and visibility.
Awareness changes lives
Connecting needs with people ready to help is one of the most powerful tools we have.
The Solution
A support system for community impact.
By helping nonprofits share their message, promote events, request volunteers, and communicate urgent needs, we strengthen the organizations already serving our community.
Businesses & donors contribute
Local companies and community supporters fund the work.
