Here is the list of the 2010 33 Best Large Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon. Oregon Business launched this list project to recognize nonprofits as key businesses critical to the economic health of the state, employing hundreds of thousands of Oregonians. This specially designed survey, which was inspired by the 100 Best Companies list project, was comprised of an employee questionnaire and an independent assessment of the employer’s workplace practices.
