I have been exposed to the Oregon Jewish Museum through my work as a history professional in Portland, Oregon, and I have been impressed by the quality and quantity of programming, exhibits, and collections initiatives they provide the community -- especially with such a small staff. The museum's director works to make all members of the community welcome and to broaden understanding of the depth and complexity of Jewish experience in the Pacific Northwest, echoing broader trends in the historical community that seek to extend study throughout the twentieth century. I am particularly impressed by the substantial oral history program, a vital aspect of historical documentation that would not be accmomplished otherwise.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the energy behind doing good work. There is a feeling of forward motion, of reaching for lofty goals and energetically working toward them.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
have a stellar facility, hire staff to significantly increase outreach for collections and programming, and pay staff better wages (a struggle for all non profits).

The Museum team of professionals and volunteers works miracles with a very tight budget and very small space. The exhibitions that have been created over the years are absolutely first class. The Museum could not do what it does without the energy and creativity of an incredible group of volunteers. Thanks to them and the supporters in the community, the Museum will move to a new, larger location in December 2009. The Museum plays a vital role in both the Jewish and secular communities as a resource and collaborator for cultural and educational programming.
The Great!
