If you've ever picked fruits or vegetables on Sauvie Island or in the Hood River Valley, experienced the unspoiled majesty of Smith Rock or the dunes at Cannon Beach, or enjoyed one of Oregon's world-famous wines, then you've personally experienced the benefits that land use planning has brought to Oregon. If not for land use planning, many of Oregon's most productive and beautiful rural areas would be overrun by sprawl. Or if you've ever enjoyed a day walking and shopping in a thriving downtown or business district in any of Oregon's communities – from Eugene and Portland to Bend, La Grande, and Ashland – you've seen what the land use system can do for our cities and towns, too. The 1973 passage of Senate Bill 100, which created our innovative land use planning system, was one of Oregon's great bipartisan political achievements. As historic as that effort was, Governor Tom McCall understood that, to be successful, Oregon needed a citizen watchdog group to ensure that local decisions reflected the voices of Oregonians and not those of special interests. So Governor McCall, along with a young lawyer named Henry Richmond, created 1000 Friends of Oregon. Oregonians had a new champion to fight for them. Since 1975, 1000 Friends of Oregon has defended productive Oregon landscapes and the families they support, while promoting the qualities of community, economy, and environment that have made Oregon such a special place to live. 1000 Friends has been there every step of the way. We've been doing it for fifty years and we'll be at it for at least fifty more. No other organization does what we do for Oregon.

The American Action Forum is a policy institute with forward-looking research on the pressing domestic and economic policy challenges.

Who We Are Arnold Ventures is a philanthropy working to improve the lives of all Americans by pursuing evidence-based solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. We fund research to better understand the root causes of broken systems that limit opportunity and create injustice. Our focus areas include Criminal Justice, Higher Education, Health, Infrastructure, and Public Finance. In each area, we advocate for policy reforms that will lead to lasting, scalable change. Founded in 2010 by Laura and John Arnold, the mission of Arnold Ventures is to maximize opportunity and minimize injustice. We are a team of more than 100 subject-matter experts headquartered in Houston with offices in New York and Washington, D.C. Arnold Ventures manages the giving for various Arnold entities, including the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, Action Now Initiative, and the Arnolds’ donor-advised fund. Our Approach Evidence-Based Policy, Research, and Advocacy guide our work. We focus on areas where public and private sector outcomes are falling short, incentives are misaligned, and political will is lacking. We follow the research to identify root causes of problems and gather evidence about what works and what doesn’t. We then fund policy development and technical assistance to create lasting change. We work across the political spectrum to build durable, bipartisan coalitions and partnerships. We engage policymakers at all levels of government throughout the life cycle of policy change, from research and advocacy to implementation and evaluation of impact. Philanthropic dollars alone cannot solve the problems we face as a nation. But we believe philanthropy is uniquely positioned to take risks and make big bets in ways the public and private sector are often unable or unwilling to do. We approach philanthropy as an engine for innovation that can help catalyze new solutions, evaluate what works, and advocate for public policies that maximize opportunity and minimize injustice for all.
