The impact of Oregon non-profits

A couple of interesting stats on the impact non-profits have on Oregon's economy from last Sunday's Oregonian:

• 33 percent of Oregonians contribute their time or money to a nonprofit, one of the highest rates in the country
• Oregon's 22,715 registered nonprofits employ more than 160,000 Oregonians, accounting for 12 percent of private-sector jobs in the state
