If you are over the age of 70 ½, you can give to Oregon Wild with a direct, tax-advantaged gift from your IRA up to a maximum of $100,000, also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

To make an IRA gift, contact the custodian or trustee of your account to arrange the rollover. Please call our office so that we may ensure proper transfer and receipt of your contribution. Donors must be age 70 ½ or older and own a traditional or Roth IRA. Other retirement plans, such as pensions, 401(k) plans and others are not eligible. If donors withdraw funds and then contribute them separately, amounts withdrawn will be included in the donor’s gross income. It’s vital that the IRA custodian make the transfer directly to the charity.

If you would like further information on making an IRA gift to Oregon Wild, please contact Oregon Wild Development Director Jonathan Jelen at 503-283-6343 ext. 224 or jj@oregonwild.org.

Donate your car, truck, RV, or boat, and support our work to protect and restore Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife, and waters. The vehicle must be in Oregon in order to be donated. Oregon Wild reserves the right to decline vehicle donations when a profit isn’t predicted.

How does it work?

1. Call us or fill out this form. We’ll reach out if further information is needed.
2. RV and boat donations require final approval from the towing company before pick-up can be arranged.
3. Our partner tow company will contact you to set up a pick-up time. They will pick up the title, consignment form, keys, and vehicle.
4. Once the vehicle sells at auction, Oregon Wild will mail an official tax receipt to you acknowledging your charitable deduction.

Is My Vehicle Donation Tax-Deductible?

Yes! Vehicle donations made to Oregon Wild are tax-deductible. Under current IRS rules, your deduction is limited to the gross proceeds from the sale of the vehicle.
