​​​​​​​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 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.​​
