Just a reminder to apply for this opportunity if you aren't already a member of NAO - closes March 21!

Oregon Heritage offers a lottery for up to 72 one year memberships to the Nonprofit Association of Oregon

Oregon Heritage has a special opportunity to give out to up to 72 heritage organizations with a budget of less than $500,000 a free one-year membership to the Nonprofit Association of Oregon. You must not currently be a member of NAO in order to be eligible. Selection of recipients will be made through a random lottery.

Nonprofit Association of Oregon has continually offered relevant and engaging workshops, conferences, tools, and networking to help support Oregon's nonprofits and encourage best practices resulting in nonprofit sustainability. They have especially ramped up their efforts during COVID-19 by advocating at the national level for financial aid, providing updates to nonprofits on COVID-19 financial aid relevant to nonprofits, and by having programs that help nonprofits navigate the financial assistance being offered. During these hard times it is especially important for nonprofits to continue operating and not lose sight of best practices and use this opportunity to develop processes and procedures to help their heritage organization endure through the pandemic and recovery period.
