Turning Dreams into Reality!
On May 18th on KATU we announced the recipients of our 2023 grants and scholarships (watch our ED, Libra here) ! In case you missed it, all week we will be sharing the news here!
Our Dream Big Grant is our new initiative that is breaking down the barriers that have traditionally existed in philanthropy and fostering powerful and transformational relationships. We had a record number of amazing applicants and we are grateful to all the individuals in our state who are working to advance gender justice.
We are excited….no….we are ECSTATIC to announce our first Dream Big Grant recipient, the WomenFirst Transition and Referral Center.
WomenFirst Transition and Referral Center is advancing gender justice by providing peer support, housing, and advocacy, primarily for Black Women post-incarceration. With this financial and resources support this outstanding organization will be able to build on their capacities, including expanding on their current successful models in peer mentorship, recovery, and transitional housing, by opening a new after-hours center for women in recovery.

Tomorrow we will share the recipients of our Portland Girls Health and Safety Initiative and how we can continue to come together to support dismantling racism, sexism, and structural oppression.
