The Greater Portage Youth Education Foundation was founded in 1995 with our initial fundraising campaign having successfully raised over $900,000 toward the funding of the auditorium, gymnasium and technology center for the new Portage High School. Since then, the Foundation has awarded $200,000 in grants for student projects and events in the Portage area and scholarships for graduating seniors. Benefactors have included Project Graduation, Warrior Fund, Paddle Forward Canoe Project, Aquaponics System for BMS, Tech Education Funding, kiln replacement for art programs, and all Portage music programs.

We held our first Music Festival at the beautiful Pauquette Park on August 17, 2024. It was just awesome to see the support of our current students, alumni performers, and our generous community. Thank you for your tremendous support making this an evening to remember.

Greater Portage Youth Education Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) public charity.
