What this means in Oregon
Donors in Oregon
You can still give. Donors who live in Oregon can still give to a qualifying scholarship granting organization (SGO) in a participating state and claim up to $1,700, or up to $3,400 for married couples filing jointly, starting January 1, 2027. Your state's opt-in does not decide whether you can give.
Students in Oregon
Students and families in Oregon cannot receive scholarships funded through this program unless Oregon opts in. Governors have until January 1, 2027 to submit an opt-in election, and the list can change.
Next steps
The federal credit is a dollar-for-dollar, nonrefundable credit against your federal income tax. Learn how to give and claim the credit, compare it with a charitable deduction, or read the full donor guide. A full Oregon guide is in progress.
