Fundraising
We need your support!
The Grant Girls Lacrosse club is a Non Profit organization, officially recognized by the IRS as a 509(a)(2) Public Charity. The program is entirely self funded and does not receive any financial support from Portland Public Schools. We rely entirely on donations and player participation fees to fund the program. Without donations the cost of participation can become prohibitively expensive for some students, and discourage others from joining.
This means that without the support of the community and generous individuals like you these student athletes would not have the opportunity particulate in the sport of lacrosse. With this opportunity comes many positive developmental experiences and valuable life lessons that are particularly important for girls to develop into healthy and success young women.
Each year the program must raise tens of thousands of dollars in order to field our teams. We need your support to do that. Please consider giving what ever you can. Every little bit helps and any donation you make to the club is tax deductible.
