Charitable Check-off Helps Veterans

 
As you prepare for the April 15 tax deadline, know that you have an important opportunity to enhance the lives of those who reside at the Oregon Veterans’ Home in The Dalles.
 
Through Oregon’s Charitable Check-off campaign, individual taxpayers may donate all or a portion of their state tax refund to the Oregon Veterans’ Home. Your donation will help to offset some of the costs of caring for these honorable people.
 
The Home receives no General Fund dollars from the state for the operation and maintenance of the facility. Please take the time while filling out your personal state income tax this year to include the code for the Oregon Veterans Home on the Charitable Check-off portion of your tax form.
 
What is Charitable Checkoff?
 
Through Oregon’s Charitable Checkoff campaign, individual taxpayers have an opportunity to donate a portion of their state income tax refund to the Oregon Veterans’ Home in an effort to offset some of the costs of caring for these honorable people.
 
Please take the time while filing your personal state income tax this year to include the code for the Oregon Veterans Home on the Charitable Checkoff portion of your tax form. If tax professionals prepare your Oregon tax forms, tell them that you would like a portion of your refund to go to the Oregon Veterans’ Home.
 
The Oregon Department of Revenue will send your donation straight to the Oregon Veterans’ Home Trust Fund where it will be used to directly enhance the lives of the American heroes who reside at the Home and to maintain the facility.
 

How do I donate? 
 
In order to donate a portion of your refund to the Home, simply enter your donation into the line on the form labeled “Oregon Veterans’ Home” (Long form, line 62 and Short form, line 32).. The Oregon Department of Revenue will do the rest.

When you give to the Oregon Veterans’ Home, you are saying “Thank You” to these veterans – who gave so much for all of us.  The Oregon Veterans’ Home is truly “the place where honor lives.”
