A
 
Message
 
From
 
NAO
The
 
Nonprofit
 
Association
 
of
 
Oregon’s
 
mission
 
is
 
to
 
build
 
the
 
collective
 
voice,
 
leadership,
 
and
 
capacity
 
of
 
nonprofits
 
to
 
enrich
 
the
 
lives
 
of
 
all
 
Oregonians. We
 
believe
 
the
 
nonprofit
 
sector
 
strengthens
 
the
 
fabric
 
of
 
our
 
democracy
 
and
 
our
 
communities
 
by
 
creating
 
many
 
public
 
benefits.
