What programs does donation support?

Your donation goes directly toward supporting WIS PDX in the following areas:

• Providing Scholarships for professional development, youth engagement, and educator support

• Honorariums for WIS PDX speakers

• WIS PDX event costs and subsidizing registrations for attendees

• Volunteer and board member training

• Operating costs (i.e. website hosting, registration services)

WIS PDX does not employ any staff, so donations do not support any salary, including the board.

Is my support tax deductible?

Yes! Women in Science Portland is a Section 501(c)3 nonprofit and your gift may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. For specific questions, please consult your tax advisers or the IRS to determine if your contribution is tax deductible.

Can I donate money in other ways?

Absolutely - we can accept donations outside of our website including mailed check or Venmo. Direct questions to info@womeninsciencepdx.org.

Can I donate other items than money?

Absolutely!  If you would like to make an in-kind donation such as auction/gift items, equipment/materials, printing, or want to provide hosting venue, please contact us at info@womeninsciencepdx.org.

I want to help WIS PDX but do not have the financial resources to make a contribution.

We value any and all donations, no matter how big or small. Additionally, you can donate your time to WIS by volunteering on one of our many committees. Please see our volunteers page for more information!
