Oregon Adaptive Sports is working to remove the barriers to the outdoors for individuals with disabilities.

Donate Now

Approximately 1 in 5 Americans live with a disability and face numerous barriers to the outdoors. Adaptive sports equipment is prohibitively expensive for most, accessible transportation does not reach trailheads or open spaces, hours of training are required to facilitate safe and effective programs, and individuals with disabilities are vastly underrepresented in the decision making processes in the outdoor industry.

Your charitable gift helps OAS dismantle these barriers.

OAS is now entering its 27th year of adaptive skiing programs at Hoodoo, Mt Bachelor and Mt. Ashland with adaptive summer programs ranging from golf, cycling, mountain biking and hiking throughout Central Oregon.  We invite you to invest in our work and help create and sustain access to the outdoors for individuals with disabilities.

Gifts of Stock & Donor Advised Funds

Donating stocks to OAS is easy.  When you make a donation to OAS through stocks, you receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them. You pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate.

Gifts of stock to OAS are handled by Devin Harrigan at Ascent Capital Management, devin@ascentcap.com, 541-382-4847. You or your broker can contact Devin directly to process the transaction.

You may also select OAS as a beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund!  Please look OAS up via the tax-id 26-0076749.  Our corporate and legal name will appear as “Disabled Sports USA” but donations to the correct tax ID will benefit OAS.  We are listed with most major brokerages.

Please consult your broker or accountant for guidance with maximizing your tax-savings through a gift of stock.  This information is not intended to serve as tax or legal advice.  Please contact Executive Director, Pat Addabbo, at pat@oregonadaptivesports.org, with any questions.
