Organization Registration

Thank you in advance for your submission! This application is for nonprofit organizations who want to partner with Hands On Greater Portland, a program of United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. If selected as a partner, your organization will have the ability to post ongoing opportunities on our website, as well as the potential to work with us to develop recurring weekly or monthly projects. 

We know that you are all doing amazing work! Applications are reviewed at the beginning of each month. Each application will be vetted based on a variety of considerations, including impact areas that are popular with volunteers and those that we are lacking in our current portfolio of nonprofit partners. We will let you know if your organization has either been approved or denied partnership with Hands On Greater Portland. 

  • Before completing this form, first confirm that your organization isn't already a partner by visiting our Nonprofit Partner Directory.  The partnership application is an in-depth process so it is to your advantage to look at our directory first.
  • Partnership with Hands On Greater Portland is open to nonprofits with 501c3 status, schools, and government organizations operating within Multnomah, Washington, Clark, and Clackamas counties. 

Please note that we require our partner organizations to carry liability insurance that covers all volunteers, including Hands On volunteers. Depending on the stage of development of your program, you may or may not be able to answer every question below. Please fill out the following application to the best of your ability.
