Gather:Make:Shelter was founded in 2017 to create a collaborative model of engagement connecting people experiencing houselessness and poverty to creative opportunities. Intended as a year-long project by artist and activist Dana Lynn Louis, with the fervent support of the Portland community it quickly took on a life of its own. Today we are a 501(c)3 organization continuing to grow through the combined passion and imagination of our community. Gather:Make:Shelter has worked with over 6000 people.
Gather:Make:Shelter is a charitable nonprofit corporation exempt under the Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3); EIN 38-4066320.
