Review for Autism Science Foundation, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have worked with Autism Science Foundation on several projects and they are extremely knowledgeable, professional, absolutely 100% on top of autism research, and paving the way for new advances. They are also passionately committed to engaging with the broader autism community, for example, the Day of Learning and the wonderful ASF podcast. This nonprofit punches way above its weight, and is one of the most impressive organizations in autism today.

Review for Our City Forest, San José, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

What a terrific nonprofit! I was a neighborhood association leader for many years, and worked actively with OCF to restore the treescape of our neighborhood which had been neglected for decades. They work enthusiastically, tirelessly, and with expert skill. Also, their cost efficiency is amazing -- they accomplish so much with a shoestring staff and a small budget. Thanks to OCF, our neighborhood now has much-needed shade on our streets, which translates into 1) more walking, 2) less electrical use, 3) less sun-caused pavement damage, 4) more groundwater absorption, and 5) neighborhood pride, among other benefits. A wonderful group -- there's nothing like them in the South Bay!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

With OCF, we planted 100s of trees, many of which are now reaching maturity. The neighborhood went from a feeling of hot and hyper-paved to green and shady.

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

I can't think of any changes.
