MISSION: Imagine Black helps Portland’s Black community imagine the alternatives we deserve, builds our political participation, and supports leadership to achieve those alternatives. VISION: Imagine Black envisions a world where people of African descent enjoy the rights, resources, and recognition to be a thriving, resilient, and connected community. SIBLING ORGANIZATION: Imagine Black and Imagine Black Futures are two separate corporate entities that are affiliated to promote a broad range of work. Although overlap exists, certain activities must be done by one organization and not the other: - Imagine Black (formerly known as PAALF Action Fund), is organized as a 501(c)4 tax-exempt organization that may engage in legislative lobbying and certain political activity. - Imagine Black Futures (formerly known as Portland African American Leadership Forum), is organized as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
