Mission & Focus Areas
Mission: The Contingent empowers leaders and mobilizes community for the common good.
The organization operates through six scholarship initiatives and two primary program areas:
Every Child — Connects caring people with vulnerable children through partnerships with state departments of human services child welfare departments to uplift children and families impacted by foster care. As of 2024, the program operates in four states: Oregon, Arkansas, Tennessee, and PDX, with plans for continued national expansion.
The Script (formerly Emerging Leaders) — Empowers underrepresented talent to become business and community leaders through an internship program and an associate program for recent graduates. The Script provides professional development resources and events, job matching and career solutions with pathways to leadership, mentorship, and access to a professional network.
The organization focuses on building capacity and facilitating culturally responsive leadership development programs with colleges, and works to improve racial and cultural diversity at the leadership level in Portland-area companies by providing pathways to leadership for students of color and aspiring professionals from traditional and non-traditional backgrounds.
