Become a Monthly Donor today!
Thank you to the 67 donors have helped us raise $9,402.
Every dollar you give is matched through June 30th, and helps keep the Garden thriving.
Update: We will receive one year of transitional financial support of $100,000 via the City of Portland budget. This is a reduction of $250,000 in funding annually. Your contribution to our June matching campaign will help us bridge this funding gap. For the past 15+ years the Garden has received pass through funding of various amounts from Portland Parks & Recreation to support our general operations.
Our commitment to being a reliable community resource remains strong in spite of this significant financial challenge.
It’s crucial that we raise $20,000 by the end of June 2025. It’s a sizable goal, but we have amazing news - every dollar you give will be matched! Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, we will double our amount raised.
