About NAO
The Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO) was founded in June 2007 to provide a voice for Oregon's nonprofit sector. NAO is a program of TACS, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit with over thirty years of experience providing consulting and training services for nonprofits in Oregon, Washington, and California.
NAO is proud to serve more than 400 nonprofit member organizations and nearly 100 associate members. Our membership reflects the strength and diversity of Oregon's nonprofit community, from small volunteer-run cultural organizations to large, multi-site social service agencies.
NAO also offers a national perspective on issues affecting the sector through our membership in the National Council of Nonprofits.
