Contribute

Support the committee

The committee has to keep a record of every contribution, and the record has to be complete at the moment the gift is made. So this page asks for it first; the payment page does not open until it has everything.

How much

$25 $50 $100 $250 Other

Other amount, in dollars Choose “Other” above and put the amount here. $5 to $10,000.

Who is giving

Oregon requires the committee to record a contributor’s name, address, occupation and employer, and to have them at the moment of giving rather than reconstruct them afterwards. That is why this page asks before the payment page opens, instead of after.

Full name required Street address required Apartment, unit or PO box optional

City required State required ZIP required

Occupation required “Retired”, “Self-employed” and “Not employed” are all answers. Employer required “Self-employed”, “None” and “N/A” are all answers.

Email required For the receipt, and so the treasurer can reach you about the record if something does not add up.

One thing to confirm I am making this contribution from my own funds, I am a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident, and this is not being reimbursed by anyone.

A committee may not accept money given in somebody else’s name, money that is being paid back to the giver by a third party, or money from a foreign national. This is what the rule says. Confirm the exact wording and your own obligations with the committee’s treasurer and the Oregon Secretary of State.

The next page is hosted by Stripe, which is where the card number is typed. No card number is ever typed on this website and none is ever stored here.

What happens after you press the button

The record is written first. Your answers are saved as a contribution record marked awaiting payment before you are sent anywhere. If the payment never completes, that record is struck with a reason; it never quietly becomes a gift nobody can account for.
Stripe takes the payment. The card number is typed on Stripe’s own page, never on this website, so no card number is stored here and no card number passes through here.
The record is completed and sealed. When Stripe confirms the payment, the record is marked received and sealed the same second. A sealed record is final: the amount, the date and what you wrote cannot be edited afterwards by anybody, including the treasurer. A mistake is struck with a reason and a new record is made — which is what a record means.
The treasurer sees it, with your running annual total. Every member of the executive committee can read the contribution book; only the treasurer can change anything in it. Each entry shows what that contributor has given so far this calendar year, and flags a gift that would go over the limit that applies.

Not tax deductible. Contributions to a political committee are not tax deductible — not as a charitable contribution for federal income tax, and not for Oregon income tax. Oregon’s political contribution tax credit ended for tax years beginning on or after 1 January 2026, so nothing given here comes back to the giver.

Limits, from January 1, 2027. A political party committee may accept up to $10,000 per contributor per calendar year. Before that date Oregon has no statutory limit, and this website does not pretend otherwise: the check runs against the limit in force on the day of the gift.

This is what the rule says. Confirm the exact wording and your own obligations with your treasurer and the Oregon Secretary of State. This website does not give legal advice.
