Join the Oregon Nonprofit Organizational Culture Survey Initiative
Strong organizational culture is essential for nonprofit impact, staff retention, and mission success—yet many nonprofits lack access to affordable, high-quality tools to assess and improve workplace culture.
The Oregon Nonprofit Organizational Culture Survey Initiative is a low-cost, collaborative opportunity for nonprofits to gain meaningful insights into their employee culture while contributing to a shared benchmarking dataset tailored specifically to Oregon nonprofits.
This initiative is designed as a pilot cohort of 8–10 Oregon-based nonprofits, offering each organization a standardized, confidential culture survey and a professional results report at a significantly reduced cost.
What Participating Nonprofits Receive
For a flat fee of $2,500, each participating nonprofit will receive:
Administration of a confidential employee culture survey
Designed to assess key dimensions such as engagement, trust, communication, leadership, inclusion, and alignment with mission
Standardized Organizational Culture Report, including:
Clear summaries of strengths and opportunities
Visual data displays for easy interpretation
Practical insights leaders can use for planning and decision-making
Benchmarking Data (available if 6 or more nonprofits participate)
Comparison of your organization’s results against aggregate data from peer Oregon nonprofits
Benchmarks are anonymized and reported only in aggregate—no organization is identified
Why This Matters
Affordable access: Culture assessments often cost far more than nonprofit budgets allow. This initiative removes that barrier.
Nonprofit-specific insights: Benchmarking data will reflect the realities of nonprofit work—not corporate norms.
Actionable information: Results are designed to support leadership discussions, strategic planning, and internal improvement efforts.
Collective learning: Participating nonprofits contribute to a shared understanding of nonprofit culture across Oregon.
Who Should Participate
This initiative is ideal for nonprofits that:
Want to better understand employee experience and organizational culture
Are interested in data-informed leadership and continuous improvement
Value staff engagement but need a cost-effective assessment option
Want to compare their culture to similar mission-driven organizations
