Portland Children's Investment Fund The Portland Children's Investment Fund was created through a five-year tax levy passed by voters in 2002 to improve the lives of Portland children. It annually supports 66 programs for more than 15,000 at risk youth ages birth through high school.
Three focal points of investments are:
• Early childhood
• Parenting education
• Access to immunizations and health screenings
The Children’s Investment Fund generates more than $10 million in grants for Children’s programs per year and is annually audited with administrative expenses not exceeding 5 percent of revenues, ensuring that 95 cents of every dollar is invested in children's programs. The Children’s Investment Fund is back on the ballot this November to vote for renewal. To learn more call 503-823-2936 or click on the icon to visit their web page.

Get the Choose Local Card Our dollars do make a difference. Where you spend your hard earned money has a significant impact on your community. It can even affect your own employment. For every dollar you spend with a locally owned business seventy-percent of that dollar goes back into the local economy. When you spend a dollar at an out-of-state owned company over sixty-percent leaves the state. The more money that stays here, the better off we all are. When you show the Choose Local card you are stating that you support locally owned businesses. These businesses appreciate your support by providing you an instant benefit of reduced prices, or free upgrades, or some other offer. To find out where to get your card, click the link!
