Great Nonprofits is the place to find and review great -- and perhaps not so great – nonprofits, charities, and volunteer and donation opportunities

As an intern with Akili Dada I have been able to see the inner workings of a non profit organization that I hope others will strive to emulate. I have spent some time studying the ethics of aid as well as the politics of development and I respect the ways in which this organization has taken into account so many issues with donations before actually getting into this type of work. One specific example of this is the fact that this organization raises the full amount of tuition and fees for a student for all four years before giving the scholarship to the student. This ensures that no matter what happens in the long run with economic downturns, these girls will be able to continue their education. I respect the amount of thought goes behind every decision, weighing the outcomes that are forseeable.
