By passing Senate Bill 606, the Oregon Nonprofit Modernization Act, in the 2023 state legislative session, we can help Oregon’s nonprofits retain staff and continue providing essential services and promoting all Oregonians’ well-being.

The State of Oregon relies on nonprofits to fill an essential role. Nonprofits promote the well-being of Oregonians every day, providing for basic needs like food and shelter, offering opportunities for education and economic advancement, supporting arts and culture, protecting our civil rights and so much more.
But nonprofits face a daunting barrier to fulfilling their essential role. Nonprofits cannot exist without nonprofit employees, and nonprofit employees have an incredibly high rate of burnout and turnover.
That’s why we need you to help us pass the Oregon Nonprofit Modernization Act this legislative session!
Co-conveners: Nonprofit Association of Oregon and Northwest Health Foundation
