The Dalles Overground

09/03/2026

We've been quiet lately, but we are busy! A successful, trusted, transparent nonprofit requires a solid foundation and team. Over the last few months, TDO has:

✅ Been awarded a Wasco Cultural Trust grant for 2026.
✅ Updated our strategic plan through 2027.
✅ Implemented a new development plan.
✅ Onboarded two new (amazing) Board members.
✅ Created Board standards and agreements.
✅ Continued building and strengthening collaborative relationships with community partners, nonprofits, stakeholders, and local government.
✅ Sent our first (of many) e-newsletters.
✅ Started planning our November 6 Fundraiser (SAVE THE DATE!).
✅ Started planning for a November/December music event.
✅ Started planning for The Dalles Hoot 2027.

We're cooking! See you on November 6!

When we heard Rebel Metalworks - The Dalles, OR was named the 2026 Oregon SBA Small Blue Collar Business of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration, we knew exactly who they had to meet: fellow blue collar badass Rob Leines. Cheers to Thomas and Sarah and their growth, resilience, innovation, and contributions to The Dalles!
