Funding

PDXHF collects tax-deductible donations to invest in a diversified portfolio for long-term sustainability. Be confident that your donation is going to a good cause.

We allocate up to 5% of our treasury annually for microgrants (~$1000) where a modest investment can lead to significant advancements ("Asymmetric Impact").

Community

We thrive within Portland's vibrant scene, centered around PDX Hackerspace (CTRL-H).
