An organization’s annual financial report is due within four months and 15 days after the end of the organization’s fiscal year. An organization may apply to our office for an extension of time to file their annual report. Extension requests must be received on or before the due date of the report to avoid a delinquency fee. The extension period is limited to 180 days from the initial due date of the report. Extending the due date of the report also extends the due date for payment of any applicable fees.

The best way to submit an extension request is through our online system linked below. Extension requests are also accepted by fax to 971-673-1882 or by mail to Charitable Activities Section, Attn: Extension Request, 100 SW Market St. Portland, OR 97201. Please be sure to include your organization’s name, registration number, and the report year for which you are seeking an extension. You may send us a copy of the organization’s federal extension request (Form 8868) and we will treat that as an extension request for your annual report as long as we receive it by or before the initial due date.

PLEASE NOTE: If your organization is one or more years’ delinquent in filing a complete annual report, your extension request for the current year’s report will be denied. When an extension request is denied, the organization has 10 days from the date of the denial or until the original due date, whichever is later, to submit the report to avoid a late fee. If your organization becomes current with its delinquent or incomplete reports within that time frame, you can resubmit the extension request for the current year at the same time and we will reconsider your extension request. Your resubmission can only be made via fax, mail, or email to Charitable@doj.oregon.gov, and not through the online portal.
