How Do I Make A Donation to the Foundation?

Contributions may be given from an individual, a local education association, a business, a community group, or even a school district. All donations are tax deductible. Learn more about how the OEA Foundation works.

Payroll Deduction (OEA members and staff only)
Join over 3,000 members who support the fund through small, regular payroll contributions. OEA members and staff can make a tax-deductible, voluntary contribution through payroll deduction. If your district does not already offer this option, the OEA Foundation will work with your district to coordinate the process. To begin payroll deduction:
• Print out and complete a donation form, which can be faxed to the OEA Foundation Headquarters 503-624-5814 or mailed to:
OEA Foundation, 6900 SW Atlanta St., Portland, OR 97223.

Recurring Donation
Use our recurring donation option to provide ongoing support for Oregon's neediest students. A donation of just $10 a month adds up to $120 a year--that's about the price of one coffee latte per week. To access this option:
• Use our secure online donation form and a major credit card, or consider payroll deduction (see above).

One-Time Donation
One-time donation may be made in two ways:
• Use our secure secure online donation form

Tribute Donation
A tax-deductible contribution to the Foundation “in honor” of a special friend or loved one, may be one answer to your holiday shopping list.
