Oregon nonprofits

Oregon nonprofits are organizations that operate independently of profit motives to serve public or community interests, such as education, health, environment, or social services. They are registered with the state, tax-exempt under federal and state laws, and rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to fund their work. Nonprofits aim to address societal needs, often partnering with government agencies or engaging community members, and any surplus revenue is reinvested into their mission rather than distributed to owners or shareholders. They play a vital role in Oregon's social and economic well-being by providing essential services and advocating for community priorities.
