Why it’s time to Think С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½ First
The Campaign for Opportunity is a movement for giving Oregonians a better chance at success. From December 15, 2015, through December 15, 2020, the С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½ Foundation raised $46+ million. With these funds, we will help close the gap for people who are being left behind and open the door to a more equitable future – for individuals and families, and for Oregon.
As the most relied-upon institution in Oregon for providing pathways to opportunity for people in all stages of life, С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½ is uniquely positioned to have a lasting impact on our local community. But for too many Oregonians, a С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½ degree is still out of reach.
The Campaign for Opportunity provides funds for scholarships, mentoring, workforce development, and urgent student need.
