On this week's show we'll be hearing two interviews that were recorded at our latest live show at the Waypost on North Williams with organizations that encourage and empower young people to become all they can be. In the second half of the show we have a conversation with Elizabeth Nye of Girls Inc of the Pacific Northwest -- an organization that was built on the foundation of over a century of history of Girls Clubs that has evolved to become a place that inspires girls, ages 6-18, to be strong, smart, and bold with gender-specific programs that provide girls with the confidence and self-esteem to access a bright and economically-independent future. Up first though Phil Busse spoke with Dr. Phil Marshall about Oregon Crusaders -- the Pacific Northwest's premiere drum and bugle corps. They are an organization with roots tracing back to 1971 that gives young people an opportunity to gain an education in a powerful, althletic and aritistic performance medium and present their works to audiences around the country such as on their current 14,000 mile tour.

Today we’ll hear from Robyn Tenenbaum, executive producer of Live Wire Radio. Live Wire is a nationally-broadcast live show based here in Portland and recorded both locally at the Alberta Rose Theatre as well as in venues across the country. Robyn talked with our host, Phil Busse, about the show’s evolution and why arts matter in the nonprofit world. Northwest native Luke Burbank hosts Live Wire Radio as well as producing his own regular podcast and being a frequent guest on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. His personality and sense of humour come through on the show frequently through his retelling of personal stories.

On today's show we're going to be hearing about a couple of organizations that steer slightly away from our traditional sense of what a non-profit is. In the second half of the program Phil Busse speaks with two members, Megan McGeorge and Evan 'Rabble' Henshaw Plath, of the organization Awesome Portland which is not officially a nonprofit but instead a group of trustees that comes together every other month to evaluate proposals from artists, musicians, environmentalists, social justice activists, technoligists and all manner of Portland dreamers who have ideas about how to make the place we live even better. They hold a live event party where applicants make the pitch for their idea and at the end of the night award the grant winner a thousand dollars cash to make their dream a reality. First up though we'll listen in on a conversation Phil had with the current Executive Director of Portland Community Media. This nonprofit has a unique funding model based on the federal mandate that cable television providers deliver content that serves their local community and is responsible for operating the numerous community access stations we have in Portland and the content they provide. PCM's Justen Harn tells us about his background prior to coming to his current post and how that impacted his experience, the history and goals of Portland Community Media and plans for how they hope to leverage emerging media technologies to bring the organization into the future.

In this Nonprofit Hour show we'll be hearing about a couple of nonprofits that are long established ones in the Portland area who are doing tremendously important work for people in vulnerable populations and doing it in a way that maintains their clients dignity and self worth. In the first half of the show Phil Busse spoke at our latest live recording event with Elise Downing of Sisters of the Road - a homeless support and advocacy group that has been operating in our city since 1979. It's been such a long standing foundation in our community that there's even a song written about them which we'll hear about during their interview. In the second half of the show we will learn about Rosehaven an organization that is approaching 20 years of serving women and children experiencing the trauma of abuse, loss of home and other disruptive life challenges. We were joined in our studio by their Executive Director, Rebekah Albert to took us through the history of Rosehaven and painted a picture of the experiences their guests have faced and how they created a safe, respectful community with support and services to assist the women and children in regaining stability in their lives.

In today's Nonprofit Hour show we'll be hearing the last installment of our interviews about the intersection of nonprofit organizations and city hall prior to the May 17th Oregon primary election. For our most recent Nonprofit Hour live show from the Waypost on Sunday, May 1st we were pleased to welcome current City Commissioner Amanda Fritz to the stage where she shared with us her thoughts about the direction Portland is moving, some areas where we can use improvement and some stories of how nonprofits have worked in partnership with city government to solve some of our pressing problems. Also at the last live show we were joined by Arran Robertson of Oregon Wild. He spoke with Phil Busse about the humble beginnings of the organization, how he came to develop a passion for protecting wild areas and the work that Oregon Wild has done to preserve natural streams, lakes, land and air which has been so vital to the protection of wildlife habitats such as for that of the famous wolf OR7. We'll be hearing that in the second half of the show but first we opened the show with music from our new house live band for the Nonprofit Hour, Irving.

In this Nonprofit Hour show we'll be continuing in our series of conversations with candidates currently running for Portland city offices by hearing a conversation that Phil Busse had with mayoral candidate Sarah Iannarone. She speaks about her experience as a business owner and virtual ambassador for the city of Portland through her work at PSU with international visitors who come here to learn from our cities model of growth. She finds much to praise about our community and also identifies a few areas in need of change and discusses what she would do about them from City Hall. In the second half of the show we'll speak with Scott Brown and Ed Zancanella from Surge/Restore who are also in the Afro-Latin Blues band Ojos Feos which is having a benefit show on Saturday, May 7th to raise funds for their organization which is training skilled doctors in the African nation of Sierra Leone which, through decades of war and disease has been coping with severely outdated surgical procedures and medical institiutions. They joined us to discuss their organization, bring us some music from their band and tell us about the upcoming event.

In this Nonprofit Hour show we'll be continuing in our series of conversations with candidates currently running for City council seats in which we talk to them about what makes Portland unique, the problems we may be facing in our city in the future and the ways in which government and nonprofits can work collaboratively to solve the pressing issues shaping our communities destinies. First up we'll be hearing from Fred Stewart, a real estate broker and long time resident and community activist from Northeast Portland who is making another run for elected office this year in a bid for seat number 4 on the city council -- a position held by current Commissioner Steve Novick.

Also during the event Phil spoke to Ben Dudley of the Positive Coaching Alliance, an organization that teaches parents and youth sports coaches how to foster true sportsmanship in their activities and gives children the lesson that mastery of skills can be a greater reward than die hard competitiveness alone. We'll hear that interview in the second half of the show as well as some live music from the band Irving.

On today's The Non-Profit Hour, we're taking a look at collaboration. Whether it's working with like-minded organizations, government bureaus, or neighborhood and community groups, nearly all non-profits learn that forming partnerships is tremendously valuable toward attaining their organizational goals. To start, hear Julie Falk speak with Glen Montgomery and Felicita Monteblanco of Vision Action Network. VAN was formed in 2002 as a private non-profit agency to be a catalyst, incubator, and facilitator for resulting collaborative efforts to improve life for people throughout Washington County. Montgomery and Monteblanco join us today to discuss VAN's past, present, and future and explain the vital importance of fostering collaborations and maintaining a holistic view in addressing the needs of the diverse Washington County communities. In the next half of The Non-Profit Hour, we have another segment in our ongoing series of interviews of candidates who are running for office in our Government of Portland, looking at the ways in which government and non-profits must collaborate to achieve positive outcomes for all residents. Phil Busse talks with Multnomah County Commissioner and Portland Mayoral candidate Jules Bailey. Bailey shares his perspective on what critical areas require attention most as well as his positive outlook for the future of Portland. Keep tuning in to The Non-Profit Hour over the coming weeks to hear from more candidates and what they would do standing at the helm of the city.​
