We Need Your Support

Talk A Mile is more than just an event. It's a transformative experience that fosters meaningful dialogue and empowers the next generation of leaders.

Our program is gaining momentum, with more cities, police departments, community leaders and students eager to be a part of these crucial conversations.


We’ve made it this far with volunteer staff, relying on grassroots efforts and initial funding from family, friends and partners. But to expand our reach and amplify these important voices, we need the power of strategic funders and everyday people like you to help support our operations and program costs. By contributing, you’ll help us bring more people to the table.

According to participants, their experience with Talk A Mile promotes understanding, empathy, and collaboration. These are the first steps – literally and figuratively – towards a safer community where everyone can live, work and thrive.

We are very grateful for contributions of any amount. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations to Talk A Mile using EIN #85-3441159 are tax deductible, secure, and processed via PayPal. Please contact us if you’re interested in making a stock or crypto donation.

Our strategic plan is to go deeper in Portland, growing and fine-tuning our model. Then we will go wider, expanding to new cities.
