funding for financial sustainabil-
ity.
• We’ve helped hundreds of Redmond businesses devel-
op, grow, and progress, and in turn have helped thousands

How we’re funded
REDI is partially funded by the City of Redmond and De-
schutes County, and the remainder by 100+ investors who
believe in our mission and want to ensure Redmond is and
remains a great place to live and prosper.
Specifically, REDI is funded jointly by the public and
private sectors. Local businesses, organizations, and
individuals make one- to five-year commitments of financial
contributions to the general fund of the organization. These
operating funds support an annually updated three-year
strategic action plan that sets the long-term vision and
parameters for our day-to-day operation.
Without the ongoing support of our investors we cannot
realize our vision for Redmond of creating prosperity through
community and business development. We wish to thank
44
each of the individuals, companies, and organizations listed
on our website (rediinfo.com/investors) for their support.
