Enriching the lives of our community

Oregon Turkish American Association (ORTA) is an IRS 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization aiming to take its rightful place among the community organizations that are actively reweaving the social fabric of Oregon for a better future.

ORTA is dedicated to enriching the lives of the Turkish-American community through educational, recreational, social, and cultural activities in Oregon without supporting any political or religious agenda. We are here to organize events and activities to promote cross-cultural exchange of ideas, art, cuisine, and traditions. ORTA was founded to create a community and a welcoming environment for anyone interested. We strive to extend our support to the Turkish American student body in the area and partner with humanitarian organizations in the USA and Türkiye to advance common causes.
