Mission

AS DIRECTED BY OREGON VOTERS IN 1984, THE OREGON CITIZENS' UTILITY BOARD (CUB) REPRESENTS THE INTERESTS OF OREGON'S RESIDENTIAL UTILITY CUSTOMERS BEFORE ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND LEGISLATIVE BODIES. CUB WORKS AT THE INTERSECTION OF UTILITY POLICY AND REGULATION TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS, EMPOWER CONSUMERS, AND ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS AROUND UTILITY ISSUES THAT AFFECT OREGONIANS.

  • CUB ESTIMATES IT SAVED CUSTOMERS MORE THAN $650 MILLION IN 2024. CUB PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS PROCEEDINGS BEFORE REGULATORS, CHALLENGING UTILITIES ON THE TRUE COST OF DATA CENTERS ON RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR DATA CENTERS TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. ADDITIONALLY, CUB PRESSURED UTILITIES AND REGULATORS TO IMPROVE ON WILDFIRE PLANNING, AND TIGHTEN THE REQUIREMENTS ON COMPANIES TO CENTER CUSTOMERS IN THE PROCESS. IN THE SUMMER, WE HELPED SECURE EMERGENCY PROTECTIONS AGAINST SHUT OFFS FOR RESIDENTS ENROLLED IN BILL DISCOUNT PROGRAMS WITH PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC AND PACIFIC POWER. SUPPORT WAS ALSO GIVEN TO FOUR CONSUMER PROTECTION BILLS THAT WERE PASSED AND SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. MOST NOTABLY SB 1530, A BILL INTENDED TO SECURE OVER $20 MILLION FOR SEVERAL RESIDENTIAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND HEAT PUMP PROGRAMS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
