INVEST NOW!

Outright Cash Gifts

The easiest and most flexible giving option, gifts of cash can be made at any time and at any level. If you’re thinking about making a gift over $250, the Development team can work with you to set up a pledge payment plan to make your donation in several installments, if desired. Outright cash gifts can be made with cash, check (payable to Portland’5 Centers for the Arts Foundation), or credit card.

Honorary or Memorial Gifts

A gift made in the name of someone else can be a touching tribute to a friend or family member, or a unique way to recognize significant events such as birthdays and anniversaries. Like outright gifts of cash, honorary or memorial gifts can be made at any time and at any level, with cash, check, or credit card.  

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs. These programs allow you to make a larger total contribution than you may be able to make on your own. Check with your employer for eligibility and more specific instructions.
