Community

Formic Media has a deep commitment to the Portland community. As he has with every business he's been involved with, President Kent Lewis incorporated a level of corporate responsibility into Formic Media's culture. This includes providing pro bono SEM services to local charity organizations and encouraging employee participation in local non-profits and active involvement in business and professional trade associations like SEMpdx and pdxMindShare. Formic's current pro-bono client project is ¡Salud! Wine Auction. Now in its 19th year, ¡Salud!, Oregon's Pinot Noir Auction, has raised over $6 million to support efforts to bring healthcare to seasonal vineyard workers and their families. Each November, winemakers and wine aficionados alike come together for a long weekend of wine, food and fun, and to raise money to ensure the health of the workforce on which Oregon's wine industry so heavily depends. As Formic Media's team and resources grow, we will continue to add content to this section.
