SAVE THE DATE
This year's party will be on Saturday February 20th at Avenue Portland (631 NE Grand, Portland) where it was last year.
Event Sponsorship
Event sponsorship at the International School of Portland is a way to support ISP students and teachers and receive acknowledgement for your business or group. Your investment in the school as a sponsor lets our community know that you are a partner in educating bilingual, self-confident global citizens.
Sponsor benefits for this year’s Party With a Purpose will be shared once the Party site is live. You will be able to sponsor the event through the same form you would use to buy tickets. Sponsor levels start at $1,000 and benefits increase as amounts do. For further information, contact Beth Katona, Development Director, at bethk@intlschool.org or at 503.226.2496 ext. 117.

Special Appeal: Tuition Support and Investing in ISP’s Impact and Accessibility
For 35 years, International School of Portland has been more than just a school. We have created a vibrant multilingual, multicultural community dedicated to nurturing global citizens and transforming the world. As we look ahead, this year's appeal is about growing that impact through increased tuition support, ensuring that ISP remains a place for all students to thrive.
This year, for the first time ever, ISP has awarded $1M in need-based tuition support. This is only possible because of contributions at all levels from our community. When we prioritize accessibility, particularly through tuition support, we not only strengthen our community, but we also amplify the positive impact we can have on the world.
At our Party With a Purpose, we celebrate everything that makes ISP amazing–our incredible teachers, our dynamic education program, our committed families, and the values that guide us. But most importantly, we are committed to making ISP accessible to a broader range of students, so that we can continue to nurture confident individuals, globally-minded leaders, caring citizens, and creative problem-solvers who will make a difference in the world.
Our alumni prove the point of the impact of our very special school. The world needs the changemakers we are teaching today.
By donating, you are investing in the growth of the school and helping to shape the future by supporting the ISP students of today.
Every gift makes a difference. Thank you!
