Siuslaw Vision is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting our Siuslaw region’s community-led Vision. We help people implement locally-owned solutions that address community-identified goals. Our Community Vision: Ensure all people in the Siuslaw region have opportunities to be working, happy, educated, connected, creative and active.

What We Do

Stewards of the community vision
We are here for the long haul, to support the shared Vision of the people in Siuslaw.

Connect, convene, catalyze, celebrate
We invest in local people. We support their efforts by connecting them with resources needed to accomplish their dream, convening people to further the work, and catalyzing change by providing an administrative or financial boost. Then we celebrate them and their success!

Gather & share resource connections (community hub)
We develop durable and purposeful relationships and networks. Siuslaw Vision is where people turn when they don’t know how to move forward on a dream they want to accomplish.

Create opportunities for active participation in our community
We host an open door for people to enter and become more effective community builders. Siuslaw Vision is a “first step” into community networking.
