{{Other uses|Solve (disambiguation)}}{{update|date=July 2012}}SOLVE (formerly SOLV, Sustaining Oregon's Legacy by Volunteering,[1] originally an acronym for Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) is an environmental non-profit organization working throughout the U.S. state of Oregon. The group is based in Portland[2][3]

History

SOLVE was founded in 1969 by Oregon Governor Tom McCall with the goal of reducing and cleaning up litter and vandalism throughout Oregon.[4]

In 1976, SOLVE hired Blanche Schroeder, Portland Chamber of Commerce lobbyist, to act as Executive Director of SOLVE on a part-time basis.[5] The first statewide citizen Beach Cleanup in the nation was organized by SOLVE in 1984.[4] Since then, annual beach cleanups have spread to every state in the U.S.,[4] all U.S. territories, and more than 100 countries around the world.

Jack McGowan became the director of the group in 1990, and continued as its leader until 2008.[4] Over time, SOLVE has expanded its work to include education efforts, removal of invasive species, and planting of native species.[6] In April 2008, Dianna Smiley took over as director after McGowan retired,[7] and she was replaced in January 2010 by Melisa McDonald. The current Executive Director is Maureen Fisher. As of 2011, the organization had a $2.2 million budget.[7]
