CASH Oregon Mission Statement

The purpose of CASH Oregon is to help low-income families and individuals in the tri-county area—Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington—take advantage of state and federal income tax credits and build solid financial futures through savings, credit repair and financial education programs.

How We Serve the Community

CASH (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) Oregon helps working families create improved financial futures. We promote state and federal Earned Income Tax Credits, we provide free tax preparation in partnership with AARP Tax-Aide, and we are developing a financial coaching and education program under the banner Financial Advocacy Initiative. The Earned Income Tax Credit is the most effective anti-poverty program in the United States. Through outreach and free tax preparation, CASH Oregon ensures that these credits reach eligible families in the Portland tri-county area, and that federal tax dollars return to our local economy. Free tax preparation also helps people avoid excessive tax preparation fees and high-cost refund anticipation loans. By connecting clients to substantial tax refunds, and by providing asset development and education services, CASH Oregon will enable many working families to take an extra step toward financial stability.

Where to Find Help from CASH Oregon

CASH Oregon's main office can be found at 2013 Lloyd Center Mall, Portland, OR 97232 (map). We are on the third floor, through the food court toward the Nordstrom end of the mall, and adjacent to Apollo College. We provide tax assistance at this site year-round. During tax season (February 2nd - April 15th), we provide free tax preparation at several sites in the tri-county area.
