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 provide rigorous, high quality academic learning experiences that are inclusive and joyful. We disrupt racial inequities to create vibrant environments for every student to demonstrate excellence.*
