The Philanthropy for Arts and Culture class at Portland State University concluded their grantmaking this fall, awarding five grants for a total of $25,000. Our partnership is unique because students in this Senior Capstone know their service area going into the process. Instead of fundraising, they have a more rigorous review process, which includes giving feedback to applicants and producing final projects designed to strengthen the experience of future grantmakers.

We celebrated their hard work with a Grant Awards Ceremony at the Schnitzer Properties home office on Wednesday, December 4th. Congratulations to the grantees!

Talent Maker City couldn't join us for the celebration, but they sent these kind words.
