OUR PURPOSE
The Fund for Portland Public Schools is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that unites business, philanthropy and community to build lasting partnerships that expand opportunity for students. We are building a movement in support of the PPS mission:
We want to ensure every Portland student has what they need to learn and thrive.
Priorities
The Fund believes that if Portland gives together through one accountable fund, the community guides where that money goes, and Portland Public Schools uses it to expand proven supports for the students who need them most, then more students get the right help at the right time and Portland builds a lasting commitment to its public schools. Over time, every Portland student has what they need to learn and thrive.
Current priorities include:
advancing Literacy
MATH SUPPORT
assistance for pps families
Impact
The Fund fuels innovation by connecting private resources to public education to support students with the most critical needs. We also are nimble and responsive, advancing pilot projects or stepping in to support emerging needs. Visit our Impact page to see some of the ways we’ve had an impact since our founding in 2019.
Advocacy
The Fund for PPS knows that students, families and community members care deeply about public education. We also believe that it is important for all of us to bring our personal stories and our experiences to the crucial conversation around the state of public education in our city and in Oregon. See our Advocacy page for some resources to get started!
