Legacy Gifts

By remembering the Foundation for Portland Public Schools in your will or trust, you will make a lasting and permanent impact on students in Portland. Donor advised funds can also be designated to FPPS. With your legacy gift, you will inspire others and help ensure FPPS’s ability to address unmet needs of the Portland Public Schools and to increase educational opportunities, achievement, and equity for all PPS students and staff. 

FPPS welcomes the opportunity to consult with you and your attorney or financial advisor about your charitable goals. 

To make a legacy gift, you simply need to notify FPPS of your intention. All conversations are confidential and gifts of any size are gladly accepted. Please contact us today for more information:
