The Portland Recorder Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Although we are a local chapter of the American Recorder Society, a national organization with over 90 chapters, we are not funded in any way by the parent organization. We need your contributions as regular membership fees do not cover the full operating budget. Please consider making a tax deductible donation today. Click here to donate funds by check or charge card .

We are also a qualifying organization for Oregon Cultural Trust donations! This gives special tax advantages to Oregon tax payers.  It allows a person who makes a donation to PRS to make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust (up to $1000) and get an equal tax credit on their Oregon state taxes. To see if this benefit applies to you and for more information, see the OCF trust web site: www.culturaltrust.org and their tax FAQ page.
