Cultivating the Power of Partnerships in the Illinois Valley
The Illinois Valley Community Development Organization, or as we like to call it, IVCanDO, has been in step with the Illinois Valley in Southern Oregon since 1995. The work we do is guided by the needs of our community – our neighbors, friends, and families.
WHO WE ARE
We build community… together.
IVCanDO is a big-picture, backbone organization for the people and places of our community. We leverage individuals, businesses, governments, and organizations to connect the dots – joining the right folks with the right resources.
Whether it be increasing accessibility of our treasured outdoor recreation spaces or providing financial support for local children’s programs, we strategically meet the needs of our unique rural community. We value where we live and who we live here with and are committed to seeing our community prosper and thrive.
