## What is due, and when

The IRS file shows this organization as covered by a group return filed by its parent organization, so it has no return dates of its own.

- Annual: Oregon charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Oregon register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in December, that is May 15. Regulator: Charitable Activities Section, Oregon Department of Justice (https://www.doj.state.or.us/charitable-activities/).

## When each return reached the IRS

From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.
