Bend Sustainability Fund, a Visit Bend Project, invests in projects that create sustainable experiences in Bend’s community.
At Visit Bend, sustainability is based on three pillars: economic, environmental, and social. Our community is dependent on all three, and it is important to find a balance between them. To have a thriving, sustainable community for residents and visitors alike, it is important that we take into consideration all three pillars.
