2012 Priorities
New Education grants will target high school and post-secondary technical training programs with visible paths to jobs; arts education; science, technology, engineering, math programs; and programs that help close the achievement gap especially in rural areas where Portland General Electric has customers and power-generating plants (PDF).
New Healthy Families grants will target basic needs such as hunger, homelessness and health care, and programs that help the working poor move to financial security.
