LWVOR CONVENTION 2015 - The League of Women Voters of Oregon
§501(c)(3) + §501(c)(4) = 1
On May 3, 2015 LWVOR Convention Delegates voted to combine the League of Women Voters of Oregon (LWVOR) and the League of Women Voters of Oregon Education Fund (LWVOREF) into one §501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit, and keep a §501(c)(4) organization to be used in case of the need for extreme lobbying.
This will be an on-going process for sometime. This page serves as a source of information for state and local League members. Please check back for new information. If you have questions or comments, please contact the LWVOR office.

§501(c)(3) Consolidation
The League of Women Voters of Oregon (LWVOR) and The League of Women Voters of Oregon Education Fund (LWVOREF) are examining the possibility of consolidating the two organizations into one §501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit. The boards of the organizations recommend that membership vote to consolidate at the LWVOR Convention 2015. A §501(c)(4) organization named the League of Women Voters of Oregon Advocacy Fund (LWVORAF) would be maintained as a shell for an indefinite period of time. This change will require a 2/3 majority vote.
