Thank you to those who have made an incredible commitment to advancing the special projects and the future of Oregon Repertory Singers! The campaign launched in 2023.
Join our treasured troupe of GEMS!
GEMS (Give Every Month Supporters) provide a reliable source of support and play a valuable role in the organization, allowing Oregon Repertory Singers to grow responsibly and achieve a new level of financial health.
The best money I donate each month!
💎 Tom Swafford, ORS Singer (Tenor)
Being a GEM has been the easiest and most rewarding way to support ORS. It's far and away the most flexible and consistent way to sustain this incredible, vital organization.

Oregon Repertory Singers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Tax ID 51-0185443.
We want you to know that no matter which way you give – as a GEM supporter, one-time gift, soirée contributions, special project donations, publicly held securities, etc. – it all works together to give you the deserved gratitude and acknowledgment that showcases your advocacy for Oregon Repertory Singers. There is no right or wrong way, or time of year, to contribute. Your giving matters.
Legacy Giving
There are many ways you can support ORS that provide tax benefits to the donor in addition to supporting choral arts in our community.
Corporate Support & Advertising
Other Ways to support ORS
The CARES Act & Charitable Giving
The new CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. It is designed to help you, businesses and non-profit organizations facing economic hardship during the coronavirus pandemic. The new charitable giving provisions included in the CARES Act may assist you with your philanthropic goals.
Workplace Giving & Matching Gifts
Corporate matching gifts are a great way to maximize personal contributions to Safe Harbor Center and increase the impact of your gift. By taking advantage of a company’s matching gift benefit, you may be able to double or even triple the amount of a contribution. Each company has its own guidelines for employees, spouses, retirees, and widows/widowers. Inquire with your human resources or community relations department, and ask for the proper form to request that your company match your gift.
Fred Meyer Rewards
Log-in to your Fred Meyer Rewards account and select Oregon Repertory Singers as your charity of choice. A percentage of your purchase will be donated to ORS.
Oregon Cultural Trust Tax Credit
Donors who contribute to Oregon cultural nonprofits, including ours, are eligible to make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust and receive a 100% tax credit for their Trust donation (up to $500 for an individual, $1,000 for a couple filing jointly and $2,500 for a Class-C Corporation).
Giving to culture is a win-win proposition. You double the impact of your gift for free, and culture thrives. Lucky Oregonians!
Whether you support ORS directly, by volunteering, or through one of these organizations, we thank you for supporting the Oregon Repertory Singers!
We love our volunteers!
Oregon Repertory Singers’ mission is to enrich the community through choral music. Doing so requires the generous support of volunteers, and we are looking for outgoing, detail-oriented choral enthusiasts to join the team. Whatever your capabilities, interests or schedule may be, we can find a volunteer opportunity that’s right for you. Oregon Repertory Singers is so grateful to those who choose to spend their time with us in a volunteer capacity—every hour you give makes a major impact.
Thank you for your commitment!
