Welcome to Friends of Portland NET

Support Friends of Portland NET – Matching Donation!

As the end of the year approaches, many folks will decide which nonprofits to support. We are asking NETs to consider giving to FPN. PBEM’S staff and budget for the NET program have been significantly reduced, making the work of FPN increasingly more important. FPN is working to provide additional support to the NET program and to NET teams, but we need your support to do so.

We are excited to announce that the FPN Board and an anonymous donor have pledged to match any donations (up to $1,000) from now until the end of the year, so you can double your donation! 

The mission of Friends of Portland NET is to support Neighborhood Emergency Teams and their volunteers; to increase their capacity to respond to a range of emergencies; to advocate for the Portland NET program with city commissioners and other policymakers; to improve equity in emergency planning and response; and to increase participation and diversity of NET volunteers.

We need your support to fully realize this mission. Please consider donating to Friends of Portland NET.
