WE'RE CULTIVATING A
STRONGER
COMMUNITY
TASTE for Equity is on a transformational journey to cultivate equity through multiple avenues. What began as a single gala has evolved into a dynamic, multifaceted initiative following the organization’s transition to nonprofit status.
More than a gala, TASTE for Equity is a catalyst that fuels relationships, supports BIPOC and queer entrepreneurs, and ignites renewed commitments to equity and justice. It is where celebration meets strategy and where community-powered action begins.

TASTE FOR EQUITY GALA 2025
The TASTE for Equity Gala is more than a celebration of the progress we make in our tireless fight for equity—it offers re-inspiration for the fight, joy and gratitude when we need it, and new connections that inspire action. Join us on November 21, 2025 as we shine a spotlight on the ways Oregon’s food and wine industry is leaning into love without fear, honoring the contributions of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ chefs, winemakers, poets, musicians, local equity heroes, and community members. All proceeds from event sponsors and ticket sales support our local culturally specific and equity-based nonprofits.
