The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation challenge grant of $25 million is 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 demonstrates 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 local, state and national leader in sustainability.
