Oregon Business is proud to launch the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon this year to recognize nonprofits as key businesses critical to the economic health of the state, and ones that employ hundreds of thousands of Oregonians.

Being a great place to work is just as important to nonprofit organizations as it is to for-profit companies. Workplace satisfaction helps retain the best employees, cuts turnover costs, boosts productivity and creativity, and gives organizations a competitive edge. In an economy where every dollar and every resource counts, it’s crucial for employers to know how to effectively manage their workforce.

Oregon's nonprofits are an important sector in Oregon that employs more than 150,000 employees. To recognize that nonprofits are also key businesses critical to the economic health of the state, Oregon Business magazine is launching this year its first annual 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon project.

The value of the 100 Best survey and awards celebration is well known to Oregon’s companies. This year, Oregon Business magazine launches its first annual 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon, based on its widely recognized 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon project. The nonprofit project is proud to have as a partner TACS, a nonprofit that provides support and training to other nonprofits statewide.

The survey consists of 55 statements divided into six workplace categories. Employees rate the statements in terms of satisfaction and importance. It also has six optional demographic questions, and two open-ended questions for written comments. Nonprofits are scored based on the average satisfaction rating for each of the 60 statements.
