Nonprofits make a significant contribution to Oregon’s economic vitality

• 7,150 nonprofits employ approximately 141,000 Oregonians.
• 10% of Oregon's private workforce works for a nonprofit.
• Nonprofits add $4.6 billion to Oregon’s economy through paid wages.
• 12% of nonprofit employers are in the health services arena and employ 50% of all nonprofit employees.
