Your Gift Made an Incredible Difference on PCC’s Big Give Day!

Thanks to your support, we’ve strengthened and expanded scholarships and programs at PCC — including the Rainy Day Rainbow Fund.

Because of the funds raised, we were able to provide gender-affirming clothing, assist students with rental and utility emergencies, and even help students attend cultural events — including a regional 2-Spirit Pow-Wow. These opportunities not only offered financial relief but also created spaces of joy, identity, and belonging.

As we build on this momentum, your involvement remains essential. Whether through advocacy, volunteering, or continued giving, you play a vital role in removing financial barriers for Portland Community College students. If you’d like to learn more about the impact of your support or ways to stay involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the success of our students and programs. We truly appreciate you!

With gratitude,
