Mission

The Red Door Project’s mission is to leverage the power of stories to change our racial ecology. Founded in 2011, RDP envisions a society where our differences catalyze listening, learning, and thoughtful action. Our systems approach to exploring race and human interaction provides a framework for examining root causes of problems and needed policy changes. We ask participants in our programs to engage in open dialogue, witness multiple truths, discover shared values, and consider how to apply these learnings in everyday life.

The Evolve Experience

In 2016, The Red Door produced Hands Up: 7 Playwrights, 7 Testaments, a set of autobiographical monologues by black playwrights that explore their feelings about the well-being of black people in a culture of institutional profiling, written in the wake of police shootings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, and others. The Red Door’s work with Hands Up led them to partner with members of the Portland Police Bureau, with whose support they developed a new show called Cop Out: Beyond Black, White & Blue. These monologues, based on interviews with law enforcement officers, depict the lived experiences of cops of all ranks, many of whom live at the intersection of this complex conversation as officers of color. Over the following three years, the Red Door toured their productions throughout the Pacific Northwest to over 15,000 audience members.

Interweaving monologues from Hands Up and Cop Out, Evolve is a new performance experience that explores the relationship between law enforcement and communities of color. In the midst of profound conflict, Evolve challenges biases and takes this charged, complex conversation to a level that generates compassion and empathy. With the development of this new production came a shift in the Red Door’s focus, from performing for general audiences to presenting The Evolve Experience as a training module for criminal justice and law enforcement professionals that combines live performance and curriculum components. While there are many different kinds of training available to professionals in the criminal justice industry, what the Red Door offers is unique. Art has the power to affect people on a deep, emotional level, in a way that traditional classroom training does not.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 02/23/2023

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
