Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC) has played an integral role in the cultural landscape of Black Portland for multiple generations. As Friends of IFCC, we are coming together to be stewards of that legacy—and to build a foundation for future generations.

Mission: The mission of Friends of IFCC is to further the success of Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC) through public advocacy, community engagement, interim programming, fundraising, capital project planning, and eventually operating a redeveloped IFCC.

Vision: As Friends of IFCC, we envision Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC) as an anchor facility where the history of Portland's Black community—and its rich arts and culture contributions—can be presented, displayed, and discussed, and its significant artists can be honored.
