Oregon IDA InitiativeDonation Basics
Individuals and businesses can make donations to the Oregon Individual Development Account (IDA) Initiative, managed by Neighborhood Partnerships, and qualify for the Oregon IDA 75% Tax Credit. For every dollar contributed, you will receive a seventy-five percent (75%) Oregon IDA tax credit which can be used to directly lower your Oregon tax liability, up to the maximum contribution of $100,000 per return each tax year. For example, if you as an individual or business donate $10,000 to the Oregon IDA Initiative, you receive a $7,500 Oregon IDA 75% Tax Credit.
The Oregon IDA 75% Tax Credit is a win-win for donors and all Oregonians.
In addition to rewarding you, the donor, with an Oregon IDA 75% Tax Credit, your resources go to work locally providing access to financial education and matching funds to help Oregonians with low incomes achieve their dream of owning a home, starting a microenterprise, or continuing their education. IDAs can help restore Oregon’s strong, resilient and financially stable residents and communities. This proven and powerful initiative provides the skills and funds to help rebuild Oregon’s middle class, and, in the process, rebuild Oregon.
