Individual Giving
One-Time and Monthly Giving
Your gift provides Oregon Agricultural Trust with critical resources that support the protection of agricultural lands across Oregon.
When you become a Cultivator, your monthly donation will help OAT partner with farmers and ranchers for the benefit of Oregon’s economy, communities, and landscapes.
Beginning in 2026, non-itemizers can once again deduct cash gifts to charity—up to $1,000 for single filers or $2,000 for joint filers.
All monthly Cultivators, and any donors who give over $50 per year, will receive OAT member benefits including a members-only newsletter and an annual webinar.
Planned & Strategic Giving
Strategic gifts are a smart way to make a lasting impact on OAT’s work, support your charitable goals, and potentially enjoy tax advantages. Options include:
Estate Planning: Include OAT in your will, estate plan, or as a beneficiary of other assets to leave a legacy for the land.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): If you have a DAF, supporting OAT is easy—simply recommend a gift through your financial institution.
IRA Charitable Giving: If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA to benefit OAT.
