FOTC Supports Measure 26-94
Friends of the Children Supports Measure 26-94For five years, the Portland Children's Investment Fund (CHIF) has contributed crucial support to Friends of the Children. Created in 2002 to serve 16,000 of Portland's neediest children, CHIF has been a tremendous success, providing funding for 67 local programs focusing on early childhood education, after school mentoring and child abuse prevention and education.

This November, we can continue to invest in Portland's youth by passing Measure 26-94, which will renew The Children's Levy. Early intervention and prevention is proven to have one of the highest returns on any public investment, saving communities millions of dollars in the long run. For more information on how you can help, contact Emerald Bogue at (503) 224-5160 or emerald@childrenslevy.com.
