Proud Ground: equity that stays put
Proud Ground is Oregon's largest community land trust, creating permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for working families who are priced out of the open market. Their shared-equity model means buyers own the home while the land stays in trust, keeping each property affordable not just once, but for every future household that comes next. It's one of the most effective tools for building generational wealth and preventing displacement in gentrifying neighborhoods across Portland.
Outdoor School: a week that changes everything
Outdoor School takes Oregon students out of the classroom and into the forest for a week of science, leadership, and community. For many sixth graders, and the high school leaders who return to teach them: it is the first time they feel deeply connected to this place and to their own capacity. The program consistently boosts confidence, public speaking, and self‑advocacy, and leaves kids with a lived sense that they belong here.
Why these partners, and why every deal
These aren't just organizations Grand Union admires; they are the systems that made our founders own path possible and now anchor the brokerage's impact. Proud Ground proves how shared-equity homeownership keeps families rooted, and Outdoor School teaches us how time outside can change a young person's sense of self and place. That's why every closing includes an unrestricted donation to both, turning individual deals into steady, predictable support for affordable housing and youth development in Portland.
