Building Stronger Communities – Together!
We believe every community already has the people, ideas, and determination to create lasting change. We aim to bring those strengths together and help turn local vision into local action.
Community Solutions Innovators strengthens rural communities by working side by side with residents, leaning into rural values to make communities safer, healthier, and more resilient. Resilient communities are not built by a single organization, they are built by neighbors, volunteers, businesses, and public agencies working together. We believe everyone has something to contribute, and every voice matters for frontier rural communities to thrive.
Our programs are expressions of this.
We want to send a huge shout out to ALL the Photo Contest Submissions; you captured some truly inspiring perspectives! We just LOVE the way you see Lake County!

Lake County, OR Public Safety Committee
Communities deserve a voice in shaping their future. The Lake County, OR Public Safety Committee is a volunteer-led initiative dedicated to strengthening public safety, supporting our local first responders, and building more resilient communities. The committee brings together residents, emergency responders, local government, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners to identify public safety priorities and turn ideas into action, from community cleanups to fire ready neighborhoods, to administering grant programs.
Your support helps empower Lake County communities to create sustainable and effective public safety resources to make our neighborhoods safer, stronger, and more prepared.
At the heart of all we do is: #NoJudgementJustHelp because prepared neighborhoods create resilient communities.
Lake County, OR Business Innovation Services
(Lake Co BIS)
Leadership begins with service. The Lake County Business Innovation Services Center (Lake Co BIS) is a place where ideas take root and business network partnerships grow, because thriving businesses create thriving communities. The small business incubator and entrepreneur development center brings collaboration across education, workforce, economic development, government and private sector to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem to create opportunities without duplicating services.
Your support creates structured opportunities for rural innovation to solve shared challenges that will strengthen the future of Lake County.
We promote: #BuyLocalSupportLocal because flourishing businesses create thriving communities.
Lake County, OR Parks and Recreation Committee
Everyone has something to contribute. The Lake County, OR Parks and Recreation Committee works alongside local government, schools, nonprofits, volunteers, and community organizations to expand recreational opportunities that improve health, strengthen families, encourage youth engagement, and celebrate the unique outdoor recreation characteristics of Lake County. Parks and Recreational spaces are more than just places to play, they are where people connect, friendships are built and lifelong memories are made.
Your support improves trails, supports youth recreation, promotes outdoor activities, encourages cultural events, or even develops new recreational opportunities.
We believe investing in recreation is critical: #TogetherWeThrive because active residents create connected communities.
Home Safety, Security and Accessibility Modifications Program
Everyone deserves to feel safe and independent in their home, and clean drinking water is the foundation of a healthy home. The Home Safety, Security, and Accessibility Modifications Program is an investment in public health and housing stability. Through collaboration with contractors, local government, and funding partners, we are supporting housing owners over the age of 62 with limited resources.
Your support provides water testing, replacing or installing new water lines from the meter to the fixtures, plus verifying that the wastewater is legally connected to a septic or sewer system. Home modifications might include ramps, grab bars, adjusting switch locations or shower conversion.
We support #HousingStability because safe home environments create healthy communities.
