The Impact of your Charitable Checkoff Donation
Funds received through Charitable Checkoff are designated exclusively for OHS programs that provide statewide services, such as our Humane Law Enforcement and Second Chance Program.
In the past, Charitable Checkoff donations helped fund a fleet of greatly needed vehicles for our HLE and Second Chance teams. Fleet vehicles enable our officers to travel across the state educating pet owners and enforcing animal cruelty and neglect laws when warranted. These generous gifts also aid our Second Chance Program in transporting animals from smaller shelters throughout Oregon to OHS, relieving capacity and placing animals into loving homes.
Every year, Charitable Checkoff donations help provide shelter, food, and medical care to HLE and Second Chance animals throughout the state of Oregon.
2025 Kicker
In the 2025 tax year, Oregonians can expect to receive a kicker, a return of excess revenue from the previous tax year, or as Tuna the Tax Tabby puts it—extra moolah for you! This makes it a great year to consider making a charitable donation to help animals in need!
