Your help provides the margin of excellence our schools need to ensure a first-rate education for every child, in every public school, in every Portland neighborhood. Thank you, donors!
The non-profit watchdog, Charity Navigator, has again given the Portland Schools Foundation a four-star rating - their highest - because over 90% of every dollar raised goes to make a difference in our schools. Please be assured we will use your donation wisely.
