Multnomah Athletic Foundation

When we each give a little, we create something much bigger. Access. Belonging. Opportunity. A reminder to every young person we serve that they are surrounded by a community that believes in them.

This is what collective impact looks like.

Small gifts, given together, open doors. They create access, belonging, and opportunity for young people and families who deserve to feel a community standing behind them.

This is what collective impact looks like.

We are still feeling the joy of community in full force!

Last week, our Scholarship Celebration brought together over 200 recipients, their families, volunteers, and donors. Because of every single person who makes our programs possible, we awarded $145,000 across 8 impactful scholarship programs.

When community shows up, we fuel futures and empower the dreams of young people.

Let’s take a moment to cheer for every student recognized and for the readers, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who help make this ripple of impact possible.

In partnership with the Multnomah Athletic Club, we proudly celebrated the recipients of the Al Tauscher Award with six remarkable students and MAC members who are actively engaged in athletics, school, and community. Each recipient received a $300 grant to donate to one of the Foundation’s community partners, making a direct impact beyond their own achievements.

The event was a celebration of dedication, leadership, and service. Candidates for this award inspire others through their participation in extracurricular activities, commitment to their communities, and by demonstrating leadership and teamwork.

This year’s recipients chose to direct their grants to LEAP, Elite Sports Academy and Adaptive Sports NW.

We’re proud to continue uplifting the next generation of changemakers in our community!
