In April 2020, The Portland Sisters donated 6K to six local non-profits! We wanted to help now when the money is needed most. The Sisters decided to forego our regular grant process for 2020 and donate money directly and immediately to organizations helping our community. We solicited suggestions from our members, and have donated to these six amazing organizations who each received $1000 grants from the Portland Sisters! Please join us in celebrating these wonderful non-profit organizations and thanking them for all that they do!
