Miller Foundation Makes Historic $25 Million Challenge Grant To Portland State University

The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation (http://www.millerfound.org) announced a $25 million grant today to Portland State University. The $25 million grant is the largest grant in the history of the Foundation and the largest grant in Portland State University history.

“Our goal is to raise even more funds for Portland State University programs and to raise even greater local, national and international awareness and support for this outstanding University,” said Charles ‘Chuck’ Putney, a Miller Foundation director and alumnus of Portland State. “We feel this grant can have a great impact at Portland State.” This announcement was at Portland State by Miller Foundation directors and Portland State University President Wim Wiewel (pronounced vee-VELL). The grant is a unique, one-time event for the Miller Foundation and is a challenge grant, requiring Portland State to raise at least an additional $25 million over the next 10 years.
