More than 22,000 Oregon-based nonprofit organizations were eligible to compete. More than 5,000 employees from competing organizations completed an anonymous survey about their employer, accounting for 83% of the each organization's score. The survey analyzed several aspects of each organization. Results were combined with an employer survey of benefits and workplace practices to calculate the overall ranking.

Results of the employee survey show employees of nonprofits have high rates of pride and belief in the mission of their organization. Employees also appreciate the fun, energized, and creative culture of nonprofits.
