OVFA actively pursues positive legislation for our members.
Oregon Senate Bill 378
When Oregonians receive their tax refunds, they may choose to donate a portion or all of that refund to a list of non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations. In order to be included on the list of organizations eligible to receive such contributions, the Oregon Volunteer Firefighters Association must be registered with the Department of Justice as a charitable non-profit and submit 10,000 signatures of support. If successful, any contributions received will fund training opportunities for Oregon’s 8,760 volunteer firefighters and support the Association’s Relief Fund to assist volunteer firefighters and their families in the event of injury or hardship.
On behalf of the Oregon Volunteer Firefighters Association, thank you for your support!
