1000 Friends of Oregon is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that advocates for land-use planning. It was incorporated on October 11, 1974, following the creation of Oregon's statewide land-use system in 1973 by then-governor Tom McCall and attorney Henry Richmond. By 1994, the organization had about 2,500 contributors and supporters. Richmond served as the organization's first executive director.
Richmond was succeeded as executive director in later years by Robert Liberty (in 1994), Bob Stacey (2002–2009), Jason Miner (March 2010 to November 2016), Russ Hoeflich (April 2017), and Sam Diaz (October 2021).
