Saving Grace, formerly
Central Oregon Battering and Rape Alliance (COBRA), is proud to
announce our inclusion in the list of Oregon Business magazine’s first
annual 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon.
The list and rankings
were based on the confidential input of the 6,700 employees from more
than 200 nonprofits across the state. Employees responded to a
60-question survey about workplace satisfaction including benefits,
management, trust, work environment, and development.
Saving Grace executive director Janet Huerta believes the survey
provides critical insight into the organization’s strengths and helps
to set priorities for improvement. “At Saving Grace we believe our
greatest strength is our professional staff,” said Huerta. “It makes
sense to take good care of our staff as they take good care of the
people who come to us for crisis services. I’m delighted for Saving
Grace to have an independent validation that the way we treat our staff
is working. It will also help Saving Grace to continue to attract
qualified job candidates and committed volunteers.”
Board president Andrea Sigetich congratulates the leadership and
staff of Saving Grace, and says, “We are so proud of the intentional
culture of Saving Grace, which engenders highly effective and
compassionate service to our clients. It is an honor to be associated
with Saving Grace.”
Saving Grace will be part of the celebration of the 100 Best Nonprofits at a banquet at Portland Art Museum September 29th. Rankings will be announced at the banquet, along with a countdown of the Top Ten nonprofits.
