Business Management Class Mission Statement
The students of the McDaniel High School Business Management Class have chosen to concentrate our efforts on organizations that support impoverished members of the NE 82nd community in Portland. We’ve seen how rapidly NE 82nd has declined and how it has impacted the health of our community. We are particularly interested in supporting organizations that focus on food insecurity, housing, and healthcare. We are excited to see the impact of “Building a Better 82nd” and are hopeful that supporting these organizations will multiply the positive impact.

Business Launch Class Mission Statement
The students of McDaniel High School's Business Launch Class have decided to focus our fundraising and grant making on supporting youth and young adults in the Portland area, with an emphasis on public schools, struggling with mental health and addiction. We find this topic important because we have seen first-hand what poor mental health and drug usage can do to students, disrupting learning as well as creating life-long issues. We have seen a few services being provided to students struggling in our community, and we are looking to support nonprofits that offer rehab and therapy while fostering open communication regarding struggles with mental health and addiction. In doing this, we hope to help fight the stigma regarding these issues and provide our youth with the support they need.
Justice Lab Class Mission Statement
The McDaniel High School Justice Lab Class is granting money to organizations that work within the Portland Metro Area. We work for the use of restorative justice methods in all environments and believe they are a necessary part of any healing process. Organizations that apply for our funding should uphold the same values. Organizations selected should serve to heal and give financial support to immigrant and refugee families, low-income single parents, and/or the transgender community. We also have a secondary focus on supporting anyone who has been harmed through domestic or sexual violence.
Highlights of the event
We raised over $15,000
The Schnitzer Cares foundation makes our grant-making opportunity possible, and without their support and help, we wouldn't be able to realize our dreams. They matched our $15,000 raised with an additional $45,000 to give back to the community
The money fund raised will be put towards our school community, funding events, and things such as the Lavender Graduation hosted by SAGA, alongside other club events. Additionally, the funds will be put towards the freshman ice cream social, sophomore half-cap, junior BBQ, and senior banquet/prom.
The McDaniel High School gala successfully raised $15,000. These funds will be put back into the school and local community, by funding different nonprofit
organizations such as MHAAO and 4D.
