A $25 Million Challenge Grant in Support of PSU and Sustainability

The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation challenge grant of $25 million, awarded to Portland State University in September 2008, was the largest gift in the history of Portland State University and perhaps the largest single gift to sustainability in U.S. higher education history. This extraordinary gift  demonstrated the Miller Foundation’s commitment to the city of Portland, its confidence in PSU’s future, and its encouragement of the University’s role as a leading urban research university.

Over the next decade and beyond, this gift when matched, becomes a $50 million investment in Portland State and will catapult the University towards achieving our goal of becoming a regional and national leader in sustainability.
