VISIONPortland, Oregon, is the craft brewing capital of America and supports an extensive, thriving pub culture. Portland also hosts more non-profit organizations per capita than any other city in America. Our vision is to leverage these two unique attributes of our city by creating a family-friendly pub environment where our neighbors from the surrounding area can come to enjoy community around good food and craft beer while supporting great causes. To integrate this vision of pub with benevolent outreach, we have established relationships with a number of non-profit organizations to which our pub will donate 100% of net profits. The customer will purchase their food and/or beverage, and then have a chance to choose where they wish their individual proceeds will to go to from a short list of local charities. We've simply positioned ourselves to be the "fundraising department" for these charitiable organizations, by providing the community with great food and great beer in a warm, inviting environment. This ground-breaking model for business is literally the first of its kind and we believe this could begin a new wave of business and mission that has the possibility of changing the way we work, spend and care for our communities. In addition, The Oregon Public House will be a place where people in the community can learn more these outstanding non-profit organizations and discover practical ways they can become involved in transforming our world and improving the lives of others. We see our Pub as a community center for change and action where others can come to not only enjoy great food and drink and give a little to the charity of their choice, but also learn how to take action and start to “be the change they wish to see in the world”.TEAMRyan Saari has been involved in philanthropic endeavors and community service for the past 12 years. He lives an easy walk from the pub and knows first hand the potential it has for transformation and service in his neighborhood. For this unique venture, Ryan has joined forces with Roger Becker, a sales and marketing professional; Charlie Sattgast, a successful entrepreneur; and Ed Heissler, an investment advisor and successful entrepreneur.GET INVOLVEDWe currently have two ways for you to be involved in this ground-breaking endeavor — as a Founder or a Partner. As with all businesses, it is essential for us to have start up capital. We are attempting to open the pub with zero debt service. This will allow us to immediately begin donating our profits to worthwhile charities and to influence the community around us.PARTNERSPartners are people who believe in our vision and would like to be financially involved in moving our vision forward, but not at the level of a Founder. Partners in our pub venture can make a tax-deductible contribution of any amount. FOUNDERSFounders either make a one-time contribution to The Oregon Public House, or pledge ten equal monthly payments. Level 1 Founders ($2,500 donation) Receive one beer a day for life.Level 2 Founders ($1,500 donation) Receive one beer a week for life.Involvement at both levels get you a “Founder’s Card” — a personalized ID card, to be presented for your free beer. Also, you will have your personalized pint glass displayed on the Founders Wall in the pub, which you may use at each visit.If you would like to give at ANY LEVEL, please contact us through email at
info@oregonpublichouse.com, or by calling 503.828.0884. It's through contributions like yours, big and small, that we have the ability to transform our city.To download our prospectus and forward to your friends,
