Gorge Owned To Dissolve

The Gorge Owned organization will dissolve in early 2020.  The board of the Columbia Gorge Earth Center, which has been doing business as Gorge Owned, voted to make the move.  Board President Becky Brun says while their programs have been largely successful, changes in leadership and staffing, difficulty recruiting new volunteers, and a growing landscape of similarly-focused Gorge-based nonprofits and programs led to the decision.  Gorge Owned served as a fiscal sponsor for numerous programs that went on to establish their own nonprofits, including Gorge Grown Food Network, the ReBuildIt! Center, Mt. Adams Institute and Leaders for Tomorrow.  Gorge Owned’s popular Sense of Place lecture series will continue into the future, with Mt. Adams Institute staged to host the program in 2020-21.
