Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Oregon SCI Community Health Worker Program

Qualified and interested individuals with SCI will be recruited and trained as community health workers (CHW). CHWs will support health system care teams of newly injured patients during the first year post-injury. Upon discharge, the CHW will support their client by reinforcing health education about secondary conditions, coaching as they learn and perfect necessary skills to live independently, mentoring and emotional support, as well as connecting them to the OSCI support network and opportunities to recreate and engage in the community. The CHW will also raise awareness among primary care providers about the risks of secondary health conditions (SHC) and healthy behaviors and resources to prevent them.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Goal 1: Establish the infrastructure to support the organization and provide sufficient capacity to achieve
short- and long-term goals prioritizing equity and inclusive practices.

Goal 2: Develop funding strategies that produce a diversified stream of sustainable revenue.

Goal 3: Develop a Communication Plan what will build strong brand identity through diverse communication
channels and efforts.

Goal 4: Develop programs that meet community needs across identity and regions.

* Expand board membership to include experience/expertise/diversity to support
organizational growth; develop a human resource plan outlining responsibilities, relationships, policies
and processes; create a formal equity plan; and expand strategic partnerships within the healthcare
system and with the communities OSCI serves.

* Develop and implement a funding plan by creating a Development Committee, that will
establish clear fundraising goals, engage a pyramid of donors, develop a grant writing plan and build
relationships with foundations.

* Create a Communication Committee to set communication objectives, further develop the
website and brand; devise content generation strategies to support that strong brand identity; and host
storytelling workshops with representation across identities and regions.

* Create a program committee to develop mechanisms for continuous community
input/feedback to ensure programs meet needs of diverse communities; create metrics and feedback
loops to ensure program quality and equity; develop and implement strategies to engage communities
across identity and regions; and create an advocacy plan that includes a clear vision, goals and strategy;
and build advocacy capacity by providing leadership and sustainability for this effort.

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.

LinkedIn profile

My work in the disability and health sector addresses the upstream structural, system-wide, and social determinants of health that cause costly health disparities that shorten and reduce the quality of life of Oregonians with disabilities. Oregon Spinal Cord Injury Connection is a 501c3 nonprofit serving the SCI population that envisions a community of Oregonians and SW Washingtonians who are thriving despite their paralysis. Oregon SCI is an SCI-lead organization that works to improve our quality of life through social connection, programs, and access to resources that support health and independence.

Last updated: 04/16/2021

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 ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • 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 seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • 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.
