By Lily Burnett | 1-minute read

1000 Friends of Oregon has been named one of the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon for 2024! The results are calculated each year by Oregon Business magazine through anonymous employee surveys that ask staff to rate their nonprofit across five features of the workplace: 

  • work environment, 
  • management and communication, 
  • mission and goals, 
  • career development and learning, and 

benefits and compensation. This achievement would not be possible without the honest and constructive feedback provided by our staff and the improvements made by the organization over time to respond to this critical feedback and continuously improve our workplace. The strength of our organization lies in the talent and dedication of our hard-working staff; 1000 Friends of Oregon is very proud to honor that hard work by creating a great workplace for all of our staff members to thrive.

“We are extremely mission-driven. The staff doesn’t get caught up in making decisions based on what will get us the next grant or donation. 1000 Friends is a trusted, reputable organization across the state and one of the only nonprofits I’d ever work for.” —survey response
