Oregon charitable checkoff information

How it works

Taxpayers can donate all, or a portion, of their personal income tax refund to any or all of the 29 charities approved by the Charitable Checkoff Commission. Taxpayers need to use Form OR-DONATE to designate the amount of their refund to donate to charity. Charities are rotated on Form OR-DONATE every two years.
