CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 2025

The Architectural Heritage Center, owned and operated by the non-profit Bosco-Milligan Foundation, is aimed at making the built environment of the Portland Metro area more vibrant, livable, equitable, and sustainable. 

Founded in 1987, by life partners Ben Milligan and Jerry Bosco, the AHC has served tens of thousands of Oregonians with programming that includes:

  • Exhibits in our 4 gallery spaces on our city's development, architecture (lost and saved), and cultural history.

  • Walking tours of our older neighborhoods - over 80 annually - to discover the people, stories, and events behind the homes and buildings.

  • Annual lecture series and workshops illuminating Portland history, heritage, architecture, and restoration how-to's.

  • Advocacy at the city, county, and state level in support of building reuse, creating density without demolition, maintaining our parks, honoring diverse cultural histories, and providing thought leadership on smart urban planning policies.

  • Resource Directory where people can find help for their renovation projects or preservation needs, and where preservation-minded businesses can share their abilities and work.

  • Biweekly newsletter which includes current issues in preservation and how people can get involved, as well as Portland-specific building news.

We are the only non-profit in Portland focused on how conservation, preservation, and adaptive reuse offer solutions to some of our thorniest challenges. This incredible programming can only happen with support from leaders like you.

We have a number of ways that you can support us and what we do for Portland.
