State of Giving is at once an authoritative overview of Oregon's
toughest challenges and a much-needed manifesto for greater civic
engagement. Chaille and Anderson highlight the crucial role that
nonprofits play as pillars of Oregon's civic structure through
their engaging profiles of the charismatic civic leaders,
grassroots organizations, donors, and volunteers who are working to
combat some of Oregon's most enduring problems, including:
Education Inequity Environmental Conservation Social Inequity and
Discrimination Hunger and Homelessness The Urban/Rural Divide Arts,
Culture, and Heritage Funding Traversing the state from a remote
Great Basin field station to an intercultural center in north
Portland, State of Giving shows the many faces of public engagement
in people like education activist Ron Herndon, volunteer historians
Gwen Carr and Willie Richardson, and Wallowa County philanthropist
and rancher Doug McDaniel. Their stories reveal that there are ways
in which we all-regardless of wealth, location, age, or
background-can give back to our communities. In addition to
introducing Oregon's key areas of need and demonstrating diverse
pathways into civic engagement, the book provides extensive
resources for prospective volunteers and donors. Rousing,
accessible, and enlivened by photographs of its people and places,
State of Giving is an essential reference for anyone interested in
building a better Oregon, starting today.
