Oregon Charitable Solicitation Registration Requirements for Nonprofits

If your nonprofit plans to operate in Oregon or solicit donations from Oregon residents, you may be required to register with the state—even if you are not actively fundraising. This video explains charitable solicitation registration requirements in Oregon, including who must register, available exemptions, and how annual reporting requirements work. Charitable organizations in Oregon are regulated by the Department of Justice through the Charitable Activities Section. Unlike many states, registration is not limited to solicitation activity—organizations may be required to register based on operating in the state or holding assets in Oregon.

Because Oregon uses a broader registration standard that includes operating within the state or holding assets—and requires annual financial reporting rather than renewals—it is an important state for nonprofits to evaluate carefully when conducting multi-state activities.
