Here is an end-of-year topic – Eugene area non-profits.
A series of questions about prominent Eugene-area local non-profits were asked. There is no representation that this is a comprehensive list.
While the results show many interesting features, there a a few highlights.
First, Eugeneans generally like their charities.
Second, Food for Lane County is the best known at 98 percent closely followed by St. Vincent de Paul at 95 percent. This is within the margin of error.
Third, St. Vincent de Paul has the highest net favorable (favorable minus unfavorable) rating at 91 percent closely followed by Food for Lane County at 90 percent.
Both St. Vincent de Paul and Food for Lane County are far ahead of all the other non-profits tested in awareness, total favorables, and net favorables.
As an aside, The Relief Nursery had zero unfavorable mentions. This is extremely rare. Usually someone in Eugene is critical of something.
