Nonprofits as an Economic Driver in Central Oregon

Does it seem like Central Oregon has more than its share of nonprofits? And does it seem like they are often asking for donations?

This month we challenge that paradigm. Learn how local nonprofits are a significant economic driver in our community. The fact is nonprofits are growing disproportionately to the economy as a whole and are assuming a larger share of the overall US economy.

Please join us for the first of our 2021 free livestreams and learn about the nonprofit sector’s hidden economy.
