Review for Reliant Foundation, Worcester, MA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

A couple of criteria that I like to use in evaluating non-profits is "how do they treat the donors" ? and secondly, "how do they treat the vendors to whom they hire, to help raise awareness or donations " ?
On theses notes, Reliant scores very high for both the integrity and the courteous nature in which we have been treated.
Reliant has hired our company to provide services and receive fair value as well as to simply request a donation. They are prudent & astute buyers who simply work towards getting great value and great service for the dollars that are invested. They seek to raise funds for their foundation is a faire and thoughtful way and I can only assume that this level of integrity carries throughout their entire culture. Well, done, Reliant !

Review for MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, Wellesley, MA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

For over ten years I have regularly visited Elm Bank. I have viewed the beautiful garden areas, attended classes, events and had for many years wished that someone could "polish this gem" Many of the structures had seen better days, I would remark. The gardens had potential but not every year was a great one. A ha ! My wishes have been answered.
I have visited Elm Bank twice in the past few weeks and OMG, what a transition from 3-4 years ago.
The "Gem has been polished" The gardens are magnificent and oh so lush. They even have a chefs garden and I understand is sending 100's of pounds to a local food bank. What a concept !
A Horticultural non profit, sets aside a piece of their land and efforts to feed the less fortunate.
Clearly there is a new sheriff at Elm Bank and the results in such a short time is amazing. Rush over and see for yourself.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Charge a modest admission fee to help fund continued improvements Keep up the great class schedule
