In November of 2014, the five state associations serving nonprofits in the Northwest collaborated on a joint data collection and analysis effort as they have done over the past three years. Together, these organizations are dedicated to building the capacity of nonprofits in each of their states and across the Northwest.
A common survey instrument was developed that allows for comparisons across states as a means to get a more holistic view of the health of the sector across the region. The survey collected data focused on organizational health and challenges, including financials, governance and management practices, and public policy attitudes and behaviors. The information is used to better understand the needs and trends impacting the nonprofit sector.
This report is designed to showcase the state of Oregon’s results through a series of graphs and short descriptions. All ratings are on a 1 to 10 scale unless indicated otherwise.
