Hospitality Help FundThe Oregon Hospitality Foundation supports the philanthropic, education, and training needs of restaurants, lodging, attractions, and other tourism partners. We are a 501c3 nonprofit and rely on donations and grants in order to do our work.
The Hospitality Help Fund was initially established to provide relief from the COVID-19 impact. Funds raised will provide financial relief and technical assistance needed by hospitality-related organizations to re-configure, re-hire, and re-open their operations. Our first fundraiser, Takeout & A Movie, a collaboration with the filmmakers from Phoenix Oregon, was a great success. Thanks to ticket sales of over 650, a generous contribution from Grubhub, plus money donated by the Oregon Hospitality Foundation, TOGETHER we are able to provide funds for an estimated 11,200 meals to restaurants who are committed to supporting our frontline heroes and those experiencing food insecurity. We will be sharing the stories of these first awards AND exciting news about the next film in our series fundraiser very soon. Thank you for your support! Take Out & A Movie - Together!
What It Is: Our first two events will provide benefit for restaurants who are serving meals to our frontline heroes and to those experiencing food insecurity. Coming Up: Our next engaging Oregon film will be announced soon! The Concept: Enjoy takeout from your local restaurant while watching an engaging Oregon film together, virtually, with friends and family. A live Q & A is included in the ticket price and will be held afterwards and is also available as a recorded link. If you can’t attend the designated virtual watch together, no worries, the film will be available for several days. Takeout And A Movie Sponsors:
