One-Time Gift | Monthly Donation | Bequest Gift
Our financial support comes primarily from our membership and the community. Just a small percentage of our membership dues stays with our local League and we could not achieve our goals of voter education and citizen involvement without financial contributions and fundraising. Our membership extends to the League of Women Voters of Oregon and The League of Women Voters of the US, and we support League policies and positions at every level.
A bequest gift
A bequest gift in your will or trust is a way to create a lasting legacy for our organization. To be sure your bequest is honored, please consult with an estate planning professional.

The League works to keep the democratic process strong and vibrant.
