I really enjoyed my MAGIC experience. I was able to further my love of science through doing research while also learning a new skill of coding. My mentor, Aliza helped me perform data analysis through coding. I discovered I enjoyed coding with her help. She met with me at crazy hours and helped me bridge the gap between the basic python principles that I learned through Code-academy to creating graphs and charts. I am so grateful for this experience and getting to know such an amazing mentor who helped me create something that I never thought I could have done!

I first learned about Wheels of Success while working as a consumer advocate for WFTS/ABC TV in Tampa. In more than 20 years as a consumer journalist, I’ve rarely encountered a small nonprofit that delivers such a profound and wide-reaching impact on the lives of working families.

Susan Jacobs, the Founder and CEO, leads with unmatched passion and commitment. Her drive to create meaningful change for some of Tampa Bay’s most vulnerable residents is the force behind Wheels of Success’ success. Over the past two decades, the organization has developed five targeted programs designed to solve transportation challenges that prevent individuals from achieving stability and self-sufficiency. These include:

Cars for Caregivers – providing vehicles to frontline healthcare workers

Road to Independence – helping survivors of domestic violence

Wheels to the Future – supporting youth aging out of foster care

Build-A-Life – aiding families who have lost transportation due to catastrophic events like hurricanes or serious accidents

Vehicle for Veterans – ensuring reliable transportation for those who have served our country who need to maintain employment or educational opportunities

Susan’s vision and relentless commitment inspired me to join the organization, where I now work in community development. In just the few months I’ve been on staff, I’ve personally seen more than two dozen recipients receive vehicles—and with them, a renewed sense of hope. I’ve listened to men and women describe how these vehicles allowed them to return to work or school, transport their children to after-school activities, and regain independence many hadn’t felt in years.

Wheels of Success changes lives every day. It is truly doing the most good, and I’m deeply honored to be a part of this life-changing mission.

Wonderful group, very supportive of local law enforcement and all things safe in Columbia MO

I had a great experience doing my community service saferide the staff was supportive, and the work was meaningful. I’m thankful for the opportunity and would recommend it to others looking to give back

So grateful for the opportunities for growth for my children.

Estimada Myrna,

Quiero expresarte mi más sincero agradecimiento por todo el apoyo y la guía que me has brindado. A lo largo de este proceso, he podido enfrentar y comprender mejor mis emociones, especialmente en lo relacionado con mi familia y la relación con mi padre.

Gracias a tu paciencia y orientación, he aprendido a manejar situaciones que antes me resultaban abrumadoras, y poco a poco he encontrado claridad y fortaleza en mi camino. Tu acompañamiento ha sido invaluable, y me has ayudado a ver las cosas desde una perspectiva más sana y equilibrada.

Aprecio mucho cada sesión y todo lo que me has enseñado.

Con gratitud,Victor Sanche z

We have been a huge customer of EALGreen for now 8 years. When I first got to Capital University I saw that we had very little equipment necessary to do our job in Facilities. Through discussions and the knowledge I brought with me knowing what EAL could do for us and we in turn could provide scholarships on behalf of EAL to deserving students the Administration was behind the cooperative relationship 100%. We now have the right tools for the job, equipment from a 35 Ton Roof Top AC unit to riding mowers for grounds and everything in between including tools, cameras, appliances, etc. To date EALGreen has awarded Capital University cash for added scholarships to the tune of $353,000. EALGreen an "Innovation to Philanthropy".

Free2Luv is an amazingly supportive organization. They truly care about everyone, LGBTQ+, straight, single, couple, any race, any community, all are welcome. They give back to the community and helped me and my family immensely.

Camelot for Children enriches the lives of children with special needs, gives respite to parents/caregivers, reassures siblings and inspires volunteers/staff. The most remarkable thing I've found about Camelot is how unremarkable an event or day appears. Children, volunteers and staff respectfully interacting, smiling, laughing and achieving. Little notice or mention of anything that might be considered a challenge when not in the safe, nurturing environment of Camelot.

All it takes is to spend a little time at Camelot for Children to see the impact is has on the kids, volunteers, and staff who are involved in this great organization. Camelot provides free, year-round social and educational opportunities for children with special needs and medical complexities. The biggest program of the year is a six week summer camp for children to participate in throughout the summer weeks. This provides families and caretakers a little freedom during the day, knowing their children are safe and entertained through Camelot's camp activities. The camp concludes with a talent show for children to demonstrate their unique individual talents, and it is truly entertaining. You will be moved when you see the joy it gives these children in these very brief moments as they perform in front of the audience!

At Help A Needy Inc., our mission is to provide essential support to those in need, and our journey has been significantly enhanced by our presence on GreatNonprofits. Since joining the platform, we’ve experienced incredible benefits that have amplified our impact in ways we never imagined.

• Increased Visibility: GreatNonprofits has provided us with a trusted platform to showcase our work, attracting potential donors who are passionate about making a difference.

• Stronger Community Engagement: The exposure has connected us with volunteers and supporters who align with our mission, helping us expand our reach.

• Enhanced Credibility: The heartfelt reviews from donors and beneficiaries have strengthened our reputation, demonstrating the tangible difference we make in people’s lives.

Being featured on GreatNonprofits has truly been a game-changer for us. It has given us the tools to share our story, build trust, and foster meaningful relationships with those who want to contribute to our cause. We highly recommend it to any nonprofit looking to elevate their mission and maximize their impact!

We use the invited reviews from stakeholders on our website ti better establish the transparency and authenticity of our organization.

As an arts nonprofit organization, we are constantly seeking innovative ways to connect with our community, manage our operations more efficiently, and amplify the impact of our work. Partnering with Great Nonprofits has been a game-changer for us, allowing us to focus on what matters most—our artists and our mission.

Camelot for Children is the place where I get to give back to my community and form relationships with others who feel the pull to support our youth. Although the goal is to provide enrichment to our children with special needs, I gain so much by spending time with the children and teen volunteers. Everyone that walks in the door is made to feel accepted and welcome.

I have worked with the GreatNonprofits platform for several years, and I recommend it highly. It is polished and professional, and it shows nonprofits to their best advantage. Also, it makes asking for reviews, and giving them, simple and if need be, confidential.

Great Nonprofits has been a great way for our donors, volunteers, partners, and others associated with us to share the impact we have made. It has also provided another way to show our current and prospective donors that we are a reliable, accountable, and impactful nonprofit.

At Operation Tiny Home, we are deeply committed to providing stable, dignified housing solutions for those in need, and GreatNonprofits has been an invaluable platform in helping us share that mission. We love having a space where our community—volunteers, donors, beneficiaries, and supporters—can come together to share their experiences. Their heartfelt stories remind us why we do this work and inspire others to get involved.

Through GreatNonprofits, these reviews not only amplify the impact of our work but also serve as a powerful reminder of the lives being changed.

We are incredibly grateful for this platform and highly recommend it to any nonprofit looking to engage more deeply with their community and share their mission in a meaningful way.

We are incredibly grateful to Great Nonprofits for featuring the Retired Police Canine Foundation on your platform. Since being listed, we have seen a significant increase in visibility among potential donors who are passionate about supporting our mission. The exposure has been invaluable in helping us connect with a broader community of supporters dedicated to honoring retired K9 officers.

Additionally, the reviews and feedback provided by those who have interacted with our foundation have helped to enhance our credibility. Positive reviews from donors and volunteers have reinforced the trust and transparency we aim to uphold, allowing us to build stronger relationships with both current and potential supporters.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with Great Nonprofits and are excited to see how this collaboration continues to positively impact our efforts to support these deserving K9 heroes.

Sincerely,
Jason Jernigan
Retired Police Canine Foundation

The International Pain Foundation (iPain) has seen a real boost from partnering with GreatNonprofits, and it’s made a tangible difference in advancing our mission to educate and empower the chronic pain community. Before joining, we were reaching patients and caregivers mostly through our own channels, but GreatNonprofits opened up a wider audience. The visibility has been a lifeline—potential donors now find us more easily, and they’re drawn in by the authentic reviews from pain patients and supporters who’ve shared how iPain’s resources or events, like NERVEmber or our Music Moves Awareness projects, have touched their lives.

We’ve also tapped into new volunteer connections through the platform. People who’ve discovered us on GreatNonprofits—some living with chronic pain themselves—have reached out to join our efforts, bringing fresh energy to our advocacy and awareness campaigns. It’s built greater community awareness, too; those heartfelt testimonials highlight the daily struggles and triumphs of pain patients, pulling in folks who might not have understood the scope of neuropathy or chronic pain before. Plus, the reviews have bolstered our credibility—when a caregiver or patient writes about how iPain helped them navigate treatment options or feel less alone, it’s proof of our impact that no brochure can match.

For us, GreatNonprofits has been a megaphone and a mirror—amplifying our reach while reflecting the real stories that drive our mission. I’d tell any nonprofit focused on a cause like ours: this platform turns your community’s voices into your strongest asset.

Bridges Training Foundation, a Midlothian-based nonprofit organization serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, has achieved a significant milestone in its mission to support the Texas disability community. Today, the organization announced its approval as a community-based Medicare provider for Texas Home Living (TxHmL) and Home and Community-based Services (HCS) programs through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).

The certification marks a major expansion of services for the foundation, which has been operating since 2012. "This approval enables us to serve more individuals through Medicaid waiver programs and provide expanded in-home and community-based services," said Michael Boler, the COO and Director of the organization.

The announcement comes at a critical time for Texas, where approximately 130,000 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities currently face waiting lists for essential services. The foundation's expanded certification will allow it to address this growing need through additional support services and programs.

Since its establishment, Bridges Training Foundation has demonstrated a substantial impact on the disability community. The organization has provided over 18,000 hours of job and vocational support services, resulting in 720 successful job placements for individuals with disabilities. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given that only 18% of adults with disabilities typically secure employment after high school.

The foundation's reach extends beyond employment services. Over the past twelve years, it has delivered 179,712 hours of social, life skills, and curriculum-based advocacy services. Additionally, the organization has dedicated 7,461 hours specifically to autism support, providing specialized resources and guidance to individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorders.

Through its new provider status, the foundation will be able to expand its programs to include:
 Opportunities to form meaningful community relationships and utilize community resources.
 Support for responsible choice-making in employment, housing, social, and healthcare interests.
 Facilitation of skills that foster optimal independence.
 Community education about who we are and what we do.

Additionally, be able to provide through the HHSC Waiver Programs:
• Adaptive Aids
• Behavior Support
• Cognitive Rehab Therapy
• Dental
• Individualized Skills and Socialization
• Dietary
• Employment Assistance
• Host Home/Companion Care
• Transportation
• Minor Home Modification
• Nursing
• Occupational Therapy
• Physical Therapy
• Residential Support Services
• Respite
• Social Work
• Speech/Language Pathology
• Supervised Living
• Supported Employment
• Transition Assistance Services

"We envision a Texas where every individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities has access to the support they need to live independently and thrive in their community," Boler explained. "With our new provider status, we're better equipped than ever to make this vision a reality."

Been a volunteer for 20 years this has been an awesome non-profit and constantly helping out military members and veterans! I would suggest if your looking for an organization to make a donation please heavily consider Operation: Care and Comfort!

I have had the amazing opportunity to work with Current Initiatives for over 10 years. This non-profit organization has helped so many families in more ways that can be imagined. Affordable Christmas and Laundry of Love to be exact. I love the experience and am committed to volunteering when needed. JASON Sowell is an amazing man of God with a huge heart for people.

I had the amazing opportunity this past November to fly to Honduras and visit the school high in the mountains. All the children I met were so kind and full of joy. Just so appreciative of the opportunity to attend school. The service Bless the Children is providing to these children is miraculous. Instead of continuing the cycle of poverty these children are able to attend high school and participate in activities children their age should be participating in. They gain confidence and can then go with their qualifications to the city and attend college. The school is private and thus does not receive any money from the government. Please help Karen continue her amazing work.

Kitty Karma was able to trap five cats all feral. Three were kittens. The trapper came on the weekend and spent many hours crawling thru bushes ,climbing over walls and pipes and fences to help this cats. Very grateful to have their assistance.

Food for His Children is an awesome nonprofit. I visited Tanzania this fall and observed first hand the organization at work. The Tanzanian staff is well trained and compassionate. I was very impressed watching the case workers in action. They met the families where they were to help with struggles and to rejoice in successes. The case workers pray for the families and make sure they have the training and resources they need to make sustainable improvements in the families lives. This includes improved nutrition, education of their children, hygiene, and help with finances. .
Food for His Children spreading the love of Jesus and helping families in extreme poverty to make improvement in their lives.

I went to the rescue ranch to look at and maybe come home with a dog. Had a few picked out ahead of time but none of them seemed like a match. Then they said they brought over one other not on my list. Miss May. She turned out to be our perfect match. She is a daddy's girl, loves to play, chew, and dig. We wouldn't know life without her now. I thank them in my heart daily

Always friendly don’t have building but she help me find shelter clothes and food

Myakye from the marketing department provided exceptional support and professionalism throughout the process. I would highly recommend this organization for their top notch service

Children’s Scholarship Fund, is a blessing of opportunities for so many families that want their children to receive a good education. The Ruiz family is grateful to have CSF’s support, each and every year, making possible our educational journey at St Raymond’s Elementary School. The Ruiz family encourages support to organizations like CSF who’s donation to each and every child’s education is invaluable. Thank you.

I love the Batch Foundation. My daughter as attended since she was 7 until the present day. She looks forward to the summer camp, and it’s affiliated programs every year!

I am very grateful to the RAZA organization, very good services and the staff much more than kind, thank you for providing support to those who need it. On the other hand, very grateful to the lawyer Jordan W. whom God placed in my path so that she can help me, since I got here it was not easy for me, but with all the barriers I am still here standing. Miss Jordan was a person who helped me from day one, until thanks to her for her help and to God, I was able to obtain asylum, I am much more than happy, and very grateful to the RAZA organization.

I would like to extent my special gratitude to Kenya keys organization for their support in the approach to my dream.

This nonprofit organization provides the opportunity to help struggling animals, but also, allows artists to donate part of their commission from the sale of their art. This is a win - win situation for both animals and artists.
I give Easel Street Alliance a 5 star rating!

Operation Christmas RGV is a great organization. We try our best to give back to the community. Not only in Christmas time but the whole entire year. I’m glad That our organization has brought joy to children and to the community.

My Mother was moving to a nursing facility and was unable to take her 5 year old Havenese so I contacted Oh My Dog Rescue to see about rehoming her.
I was quickly contacted and given the persons name that was going to foster Piper. Staci immediately contacted me and made arrangements to come visit, evaluate and pick up Piper. Staci was very compassionate, knowledgeable and made the transition comfortable for my Mom who was really struggling. Piper instantly took to Staci and Staci updated my Mom on Piper throughout the adoption. Piper found a great home and my Mom was very appreciative.

I am glad to be a part of the help that is being provided to those in need through Abundant Hope!

Great people supporting excellent causes. Always willing to help a variety of people in the community.

Always there, when consistency and respect for kids in a pinch is needed. Used services when I was a kid. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing organization because my sons friend was battling cancer and they had done amazing things to get the class involved to be supportive to him during his fight. Once i got to know them better I realized they are beyond amazing and supportive to all the children and their families during their fight and all around the best organization I've ever come across. They put their money raised specifically to their cause and that is so important. Their founders are genuine, loving, caring, supportive and will do anything for the families in need. I wish there were more of them out there because no one compares to them. Day or night they fight right along side their families. Im so grateful for them and all they do!

This non profit helps veterans get back on their feet after they are out of service.

I am a Director and Writer at Engineering Pivot and it has truly inspired me. I was always interested in information about engineering, but never had the opportunity to teach others about it. Engineering Pivot is a family that helped me discover my passion for articles and telling people about trends in engineering. We have affected many people and have a wide network of people working together to inform the public about engineering and are always welcome for more people to join to help us and to learn.

Great people! they helped me with so much. when Im not fortunate enough they always make sure to help me out. I love this place and the people.

I’ve been volunteering here for over a year now and it’s been amazing! Miracle Messages paired me up with a Miracle Friend who I’m still very close to, they have provided so many resources for the homeless (even for me when I was going through a difficult time), and they’ve provided several opportunities for homeless individuals to win grants, attend helpful workshops etc. I appreciate the Miracle Messages team as a whole and I’m so proud to see this non-profit grow.

Muy buen programa, mucha información, ayudan mucho a los estudiantes.

The staff is amazing and friendly! You can tell the staff really makes a difference for the animals in their care.

I like the way you guys take care of animals. All animals and I have donated money, but mostly I like to click And agree with different things that you ask about.

Assalamu Alaikum. I am jannatul Pinky. When I was in class 8, I was admitted in OBAT tutorial centre. Because of family financial problem, my study was about to stop. At that time, OBAT supported me and give me scholarship. After that I never had to look back. I passed my 8th grade with GPA 5. Then OBAT involved me with OBAT Think Tank Karnafully Chattogram and I started to do volunteer works. By doing the volunteer works, I have learnt the value of social work and it was a big change in my life that I wanted to be a social worker. I kept doing the volunteer works with OBAT so that no girl have to stop their study. Moreover I have learnt motion graphics and design from OBAT IT Centre and made documentaries of OBAT to highlight their projects and activities. Currently, I am in Asian University for women that too with the support of OBAT. I hope many girls like me who cannot even afford to study in such a prestigious University will be inspired by these activities of OBAT. In Shaa Allah, one day I'll make OBAT feel proud of me and show the world the activities of OBAT Helpers that changed many life.

Moreover, all the projects of OBAT are really wonderful. Their work for the community development is improving the lives of the people. The implement of pre-schools, primary schools, high schools, tutoring center, it center and sewing center is not in only educating the children, but also inspire them to fulfill the dreams that they don't even courage to see. OBAT scholarship program is giving the opportunity to the girls and boys who want to study for the but because of financial status, they can not get admitted into school or college or university. Moreover the implement of deep tubewell, women's bathroom,
toilet and many other projects have made the live of the people smooth. If there weren’t OBAT Helpers, women's had to go to miles away to fetch water, people had to suffer from various diseases because of the harmful sewage system. Moreover OBAT Helpers is giving the opportunity to the women who are not literate enough to do jobs by teaching them sewing. The project Ucchash is also a life changing project for our community that is working with the special kids who are mostly ignored by the people of our society. there are so many works that OBAT Helpers is doing for development and Alhamdulillah the progress can we seen in every house of our community.

Since my son’s diagnosis of Syngap1 in 2021, Syngap Research Fund has been a constant source of knowledge, support, and encouragement. You’d be hard pressed to find a harder and more committed group of people working toward a common goal. I’m grateful every day for the hope they give our family for our son and his future.

Great Nonprofits not only provide an opportunity to highlight your organization, but they also provide valuable information that can be used for marketing and stewarding purposes. I have been able to take many of the quotes from our clients and turn them into valuable resources for our agency.

Lemondrop Farm Sanctuary & Community Outreach supports those who need it most, whether human or animal. We have been a Top Rated Nonprofit with GreatNonprofits since 2017, and we could not be more amazed and grateful for their support. They provide so much visibility for small grassroots nonprofits like us, giving everyone equal ability to be seen by the community and potential donors. They spotlight nonprofits, highlighting the work that we do and all those who support us. We are so grateful to you, GreatNonprofits. Thank you for giving us a platform to be seen and heard.

We are a nonprofit nature center and botanical garden that was begun 51 years ago. Great Nonprofits has been a great platform for us in promoting our center. We refer to it on our grant applications and encourage our volunteers and directors to leave reviews each year about our organization.

Great Nonprofits is a wonderful organization that continues to provide support for other nonprofits throughout the nation. This is a company you can trust and one that will make sure your donation is sent directly to your requested organization.

GreatNonprofits isn't just a platform; it's a powerhouse for nonprofits like Still Serving Veterans. It's our megaphone to shout our story, rallying the community behind our cause of serving veterans. With its slick interface, we are able to effortlessly convey our impact.
This isn't just about us; it's about you, the savvy donor. GreatNonprofits is your compass in the charitable sea, consolidating reviews and intel so you can invest your dollars where they matter most. It's not just about giving; it's about joining a movement, forging bonds with fellow believers in the mission of taking care of our veterans.

In a sector often clouded by ambiguity, GreatNonprofits is a beacon of clarity. It's the handshake between nonprofits and their champions, fostering collaboration, transparency, and tangible change. Our voice resonates louder because of this platform, making it not just a tool but a lifeline for vetting the organizations that truly make a difference.

GreatNonprofits has been a great way for us to get our nonprofit out to the world and gather feedback from the public. We've even received a few donations through this platform. Thank you for all you do to support the nonprofit community!

I had the pleasure of working with NO MORE during several outreach campaigns in 2020 and 2021 for World Bank Group and the United Nations' global staff and dependents. As a result of that synergy, and understanding the desperate need, the NO MORE Global Directory was developed in partnership with the WBG and UN. It's the first comprehensive international directory of domestic and sexual violence helplines, support resources for men and women, and easy to navigate for anyone to benefit, i.e. survivors, friends or loved ones, and corporations with staff or dependents needing confidential support. A few years ago I joined the NO MORE Board impressed with NGO's commitment to work towards a world with NO MORE violence. As Coordinator of the WBG's domestic violence prevention program for many years, I'm well aware of need for MORE communication and education globally to prevent this global and pervasive scourge that has rippling consequences for victims and their children impacting health, families, and communities.

I wanted to personally thank Great-nonprofits for assisting me in giving back to the non profit that was there when I needed them.

So, thank you Great Nonprofits! The GETMADPR. Org foundation that you connected me with really helped me out when I needed help.

Society for Science has done an extraordinary job in its efforts to assist smaller nonprofits like ours through The STEM Action Grants program. As a recently established organization, their unwavering support has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of our dynamic Girl Power outreach initiatives.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Society for Science for their dedication to making STEAM education accessible to every student. Their commitment has been instrumental in our journey towards a more inclusive and empowered future.

When I came in contact with Relief (Liberia), Inc. Headquarters in Modesto, California, I saw how they had successfully trained ten women in a small space to weave cotton into fabrics during a pilot program. I suggested they need a larger facility for more women to weave larger fabric. The stipend the Substitute weaving instructor received allowed her to continue her nursing career and graduate.
The women participating in the weaving program came from longer-distance communities. Some have younger children. Some were dropouts due to a lack of funding to pay their school fees and stumbled on Relief's weaving program with all tuition and supplies sponsored by donor funds. This opportunity unfolded and was able to give them time to acquire a vocational education.
The dress styles and the economy were profoundly affected by the introduction of weaving. The country cloth was a significant trade item until the early part of the last century when local textiles were replaced in part by cheaper European fabrics. The function of dress and personal adornment varies significantly from culture to culture and may help distinguish one person from another in Liberia. Bringing that back will help the country and local communities. To all volunteers, donors, partners, and sponsors of Relief, Inc., We Thank You.

Dogs are very precious to me and I have seen first hand how much time and dedication Hoardin Huskies has devoted to unwanted dogs. The amount of time and knowledge this organization has put to the care of these precious animals is outstanding. From the care of the sick, finding fosters, educating, the planning and logistics of getting dogs where they will be safe and loved. I have met some of the volunteers and managers of this nonprofit and know that everything they do is purely from their heart.

I have been learning about this wonderful nonprofit and watching it grow over the past 10 years. I believe if Americans truly want to slow down refugees at our border, we need to assist those most in need in our most vulnerable southern countries.
This program offers education and assistance in self-sustainability, nutrition, and much more.

GreatNonprofits is a platform that we really appreciate and recommend to all of the nonprofits with whom we work. It reminds us to get reviews and feedback from the people with work with, our partners, our members, and more! And there's even the occasional donation we get through the GreatNonprofits site! Highly recommend!

This organization offers non-profits, great and small, the same opportunities, and I sincerely appreciate that. I am very new to the organization but have been very impressed with what I have seen and read thus far.

GNP is a great promotional tool, the campaign certificates add to our credentials as a recognized professional organization.

Reviews posted on the GNP website by our members and volunteers allow our nonprofit to gain greater visibility with potential donors. Our members write about how our organization has served them and our volunteers express their positive experiences helping others. We earned the GNP seal and posted it on our website. It is clickable so that it goes right to the GNP site so that people can read our reviews and write their own reviews. Thank you to GNP for this great service.

GreatNonprofits is such a critical tool for providing validity of nonprofit organizations. It's also a wonderful opportunity to collect stories from those we serve. Thank you for providing this service!

This is a great non-profit. It helps other nonprofits get their name out there. Very cool!

Greatnonprofits is a great vehicle for nonprofit organization to gain exposure and donations that we would not normally receive. Their outreach and follow-up through are outstanding. Thanks Greatnonprofits! We appreciate you and your hard work.

GreatNonprofits has helped patients and caregivers find our organization, Dysautonomia Support Network. Another way to increase our visibility to those who need our support and donors who want to help us continue to make a difference. https://www.dysautonomiasupport.org/

GreatNonprofits is a wonderful avenue for VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired to get better known. We are a regional charity with no marketing budget. Our money is spent on direct services for primarily low income people of all ages that experience severe vision loss or legal blindness. GreatNonprofits has been a terrific vehicle for our volunteers to share how they help people who are blind, what they have learned from the blind people they volunteer with and what they learn about the nonprofit world. Thank you GreatNonprofits for providing the platform to amplify our free services. NDM

I have been Donating to this organization for years and the difference they make in people's lives is tremendous. We have even put them in our will to help continue their efforts .
This is my all time favorite charity for what they do for the indigenous people.

Working with GNP is a quite pleasant experience! Very nice people working hard for a good cause.

In loving memory of Caryn Learner of New York City
Caryn's great appreciation and strong devotion to the arts have helped to enrich her spirt, fuel her soul, and deepen lifelong relationships.
May she sing amongst the angels (mal'ach) forever. Love, the Kaminsky family

Greatnonprofits is my go-to website for finding nonprofits I know I can trust!

I had a problem and talked to someone in the chat - they were very nice and helped me!

You won't post my review about Beagle Freedom Project, an organization that is profiting on Anti-Asian sentiment.

I made a contribution in memory of someone. This site provided no opportunity to notify the family of the contribution made in memory of their loved one. I will not use this site again.

This company took 500.00 of mine. I donated $500.00 to the Merrimack Valley Foodbank on May 3, which I got billed for and paid through the charity itself. I made another $500.00 donation at the end of Nov or beginning of Dec. This charge appeared on my credit card recently, along with another charge of $500.00 made on Oct 6 by your scam nonprofit.. This is a scam, as I haven't donated more than $1000.00 to the food bank so far. And I donated through the Merrimack Valley Food Bank. When I called them about the charge by your nonprofit, they had no idea who that was, so none of the money was given through your company. I have disputed this charge of $500.00 on my citibank card, which is a scam by your company. I will be pursuing this. It is disgaceful at this time of Covid that your company would be scamming people. I am in the middle of checking this out with my credit card company.

Liliana, born today, July 11th, is the first born child, of the first child sponsored through CARITAS For Children, in 2002, from Warsaw, Poland. We pray for the life of sweet and precious baby Liliana, that she know always, the blessings of God's love, peace, hope and joy. This is an example of the beginning of a second generation of the life of a child born from God's love (Caritas)...for us all. (Jn 13: 34-35) How blessed are we who know this kind of everlasting love...Amen!!!

My next door neighbor, Diane Crust, told me how wonderful this organization is by helping so many people. Diane and her family have been lovely neighbors. I'm making a donation in honor of Diane.

This project began on the advice of a local Malian health care worker who said the rate of infectious disease in his district would decrease significantly if people in the community could be encouraged to wash their hands regularly with soap and water. Barclay Martin and his local partner Teblicoro began by developing a schools-based hand washing initiative in schools in and around Ouelessebougou and the local buy in was so affirmative they have since expanded the program to include soccer and basketball tournaments, digging wells for water, supplying kettles and a motor van for distribution, soap making, Covid 19 mask making, bridge building and gardening. For several years Barclay Martin funded the whole project from proceeds from his own band performing in Kansas City but the program itself has been directed from the start by the local people who have expressed their gratitude with joyous celebrations of song and dance. The work being done by this group is genuinely transformative and simply amazing.

These people need help BADLY! Please help them! TYVM

The term ‘person with an intellectual disability’ comes from people with an intellectual disability themselves who believe that, “labels are for jars, not people.” People with an intellectual disability do not want to be defined by their disability. We all have gifts, talents and abilities and we do not want to be limited from expressing these gifts because of a label.

This was my comment after my little donations I made to the Lukas Community organization. Please readers, you and I know that in-life, know nobody knows about how and what would happens to our lives from the next munits, the next hours, next days, the next weeks ,net months and the next years.

Therefore there's no limits in any small donation one could make, its actually changes and saves someone's in-needs' life. No-body could and can save this beautiful planet we have, But rather we could only contribute to safe ourselves and our love once and the awesome natures around us, by supporting and encouraging people in-need in and around where-ever you might find yourself in.
If we start to make little little contributions, the world would be a better place as always. take care and much love and peace to all. And remember, little drops of water, makes a mighty Ocean.

I submitted a review about a non-profit I had a negative experience with, and it did not get posted. Ironically, the organization is rated #1 in its field, but clearly is not reflective of all experiences as they monitor and screen reviews. That is not how a viable nonprofit rating organization operates. I am filing complaints with the BBB, the attorney general's office, and every board member. This is NOT the way to do business.

WaZobia Arts offers interactive – artistic collaboration, facilitates cultural awareness, and celebrates diversity lead by Artistic Director Sunny Eselekhomhen. WaZoBia brings together people of all ages and ethnicities to bring awareness through educational programs that reflect rich West African culture. This includes: art workshops, batik- making, rhythmic music, drum-making, school programs, traditional dye, gourd work, poetry workshops, painting, participatory dance, ceramics, traditional food/ medicines, and recycled/ repurposed artwork. In addition to the interactive elements, WaZoBia also offers excursions to diverse African regions, to immerse students and participants in experiences that will enrich and educate them in authentic West African artistic traditions.

I find it ironic that they do not post their 990s on their website. I also find it ironic as a nonprofit is is virtually impossible to speak to someone via the telephone. I would never donate to an organization that does not invite people to freely connect with it in the manner that is most comfortable for the donor/user. Shame on GreatNonprofits.

GreatNonprofits is an excellent source for learning about nonprofits that do great work!

This is a good nonprofit, they really put a lot of effort and care into what they do.

The nonprofit cares deeply about helping other nonprofits. I respect that.

The organization has a lofty mission of helping to inspire donors and volunteers. I appreciate that.

I worked with GreatNonprofits throughout the whole summer. I had a great experience and learned a little bit of everything, from marketing to research. Besides the skills I obtained through my internship, I was also able to be part of meetings with some of our funders such as The California Endowment and The California Wellness Foundation which was really exciting as I was only an intern. Through this internship, I was definitely able to get my hands wet with the nonprofit world. I worked with a team that really valued what they were doing as an organization and are really passionate about philanthropy and charity work.

I am impressed with the vision and execution of your mission of
providing tools for donors & volunteers to find, review, and
analyze non-profits. I like the ability of scanning your 32 Issues
categories for areas I am interested in. Clicking on your most
reviewed designation, I am able to have at my fingertips some of
the most popular non-profits. Browsing the various reviews and
ratings within those popular charities gives me a way to validate
such charities.

Although I need to go to other sites to review the financial
statement for the charities I want to research further, you have
provided a valuable service to tens of thousands of people. I
believe that such information has multiplied into unimaginable
good.

From a testimonial perspective, your tool has helped a charity I
work with. Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance out of
NJ has kept its light under the bushel for 29 years. You might
imagine that a group serving tens of thousands of poor spanning
56 countries misht be well knowm. Although our 503
missionaries have known it well over the years, until your
greatnonprofits.org 2013 ratings review effort that just ended,
few in the world would have known that such a charity existed.
This diamond hidden in the rough is getting good reviews because
it has delivered 100% of donations it received to aid the poor by
taking no salaries and having a founder absorb all operating
costs through her sacrifice.

Although our many thousands of poor could not vote without
internet, you provided a life-changing tool for the world to learn.
In MQAN's case, scores of missionaries found a way to give
voice and hope to our poor.
You have thousands of other non-profits doing good. Your
information dissemination tool is surely like multiplication of
the loaves. For all non-profits, a big THANKS.

Greatnonprofits is an amazing place that is dedicated to helping all nonprofits get vital feedback that they need to improve and resources that can help them get there.

I am a new summer intern for GreatNonprofits. It is a lovely and highly professional team. I am really thankful for the emphasis they put on the personal and professional growth of the interns.

GreatNonProfits is committed and passionate about it's cause - to give voice and credibility to local non-profits and a platform for donors, volunteers, public etc to read reviews about non-profits, they wish to get involved with. It's been an awesome learning experience at GreatNonProfits. I learnt new skills and tools . Also, I got to interact with industry experts. They have a very open, learning and empowering culture. The team is good, helpful and encouraging. I am thankful to Perla Ni, for extending this opportunity to me and making me feel so welcome and part of the group.

I find them generous, honest and helpful. This program really helps my frien and her family.

This program has really helped me out when i had no where else to turn

This site receives participation from fella's from all over the world. I find them generous, honest and helpful. I'm glad I found them and am happy to participate in helping others overcome and adapt.

I know about the great job this organization is doing thanks to a friend who child has this syndrome. She is very thanfull to all they do for her child, information, research...

During a very hard time in my life, I was able to connect with other straight spouses after my husband told me that he was gay and our marriage was over. It was such a stressful time in my life, and not a story I felt I could share with all of my friends and family. Being able to connect with others who had gone through exactly the same thing gave me some much needed perspective, and now I am proud to be a face-to-face contact in my home province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

The GreatNononprofits team is a selfless group of people dedicated to trying to improve the nonprofit sector and increase accountability and transparency to the public. They want to make sure that your donations go to those nonprofits that are truly going to use it to help the world. I have watched this nonprofit grow throughout the years and have been amazed at what they have been able to accomplish. They are a great organization that I am proud to donate to.

An amazing organization that provides services and programs for people with cancer and their families.

This group is amazing now I no people like me

it was an amazing experience. Helping people who are in need and seeing that the tiniest things help is incredible. it was the first time i really saw how healing acupuncture is :)

As a summer intern at GreatNonprofits, I found the staff to be incredibly amiable, flexible, and helpful. Perla Ni, the founder and CEO, is a great boss and gives her interns a lot of freedom to find projects they are interested in and really takes care of us. It truly is a great place to work and I recommend anyone seeking a summer internship in the Bay Area to apply.

While interning at GreatNonprofits this past year, I had the opportunity to learn about and experience great nonprofits everyday, reading reviews and researching organizations as well as working behind the scenes as a staff member. I'm amazed at all that the organization does with such a small staff, and they continue to find ways to grow, improve, and extend their reach. Though the organization still has room for improvement and kinks to work out, I know GreatNonprofits will continue to help organizations get their story told and provide this critical tool to the world of social change.

People want to help others, and that often means getting involved somehow with nonprofits. We want to find effective ones, and avoid the questionable ones.

It helps to find user reviews of nonprofits.

This review is self referential, in part, to get the word out better. GreatNonprofits does a really useful and good job, and more people need to hear about it.

This site is an unmonitored disaster. It has the potential to cause serious damage to legitimate non-profit groups - and probably already has to many. Any psycho with a grievance - real or imagined - can easily create multiple identities and use them to slander the organization and even it's other clients by name with no oversight at all. Take control and monitor this site - or shut it down. You are doing a disservice to all concerned with the mess you have created.

I was disgusted to read some of the reviews and the irrelevant comments that GNP allows to be posted about nonprofits.
How is it that GNP's board and advisers have posted their impressive creds and they are party to decieving the public that GNP is like Yelp or Zagat. That's hypocritical.
It is a review site where there are rants and flame wars, personal information and impersonating an officer of the law, bullying, fake posts, lies, anonymous commenters. GNP is not worthy to even wipe the feet of the nonprofits that are under attack that results because GNP can't even carry out a TOU.
It's terrible that the CEO dramatically describes how nonprofits helped her and then she allows nonprofits to be trashed on her review board. She's a lawyer.
The marketing manager who responds to complaints is a 2008 grad with no nonprofit experience. Thats completely obvious. The board of directors has allowed her to run GNP credibility into the ground with her many smart alec emails about how GNP is not responsible.
GNP is a joke. Use Yelp. They earned the reputation that GNP pretends dishonestly to be like.

I would give this site zero stars if I could. This site allows anyone to register multiple times and to carry out a vendetta against any site they have had a problem with. Members banned from sites can come here and trash the site they were banned from multiple times.

You do not get a true view of a nonprofit based on reviews at this site due to the above. This site is therefore without value.

What a joke!!! No credibility at all. When a review site such as this has no control over what is written on it - it beggars belief.

For more than two weeks, I have been complaining to you that my account was hacked. I sent you three emails and wrote a comment here. I complained to you that at least 4 or 5 accounts with my name had been set up to create havoc on the BCO review site. I ask you to remove the duplicate accounts that you allowed. And for that, I get "my" account deleted. Given the lack of interest and the time that elapsed, there's no telling the extent of the hacking that occurred here. I also ask you to go to the BreastCancer.org website and read the comments posted there not the views - the comments. They brag about setting up multiple accounts, because you do not check if the account name is use before you allowed it to be used multiple times. Others joked that you do not require the terms and conditions to be checked. Others discovered that they did not need valid email addresses and bragged about that in their comments. Others discovered that they did not need to do a review at all - they could just harass with the new userid you had given them. Fortunately, while I was waiting two - three weeks for you to show any interest in this problem, I copied what I needed to copy regarding this and the emails that I sent you. There are no words strong enough for your lack of timeliness, indifference, or your incompetance.

I am pleased to volunteer my time with GreatNonprofits.org. I originally helped to beta-test the website by putting up profiles for me and for the charity I work for and working out the bugs. Next I was a "site monitor" to help ensure that reviews met the standards for civil discourse. I enjoy working with the staff; they really care about helping nonprofits tell their stories through profiles and reviews. After my experience I would not donate to or volunteer for an organization without researching them.

I was initially excited at the prospect of a service for nonprofit reviewing akin to Yelp, which I've enjoyed since 2005. This service has a lot of kinks to work out, though, and I hope leadership arises from within to address its responsibility and accountability to the independent sector.

Specifically, I am referring to the fact that GreatNonprofits will not perform any level of due diligence and reasonable investigation around false, damaging reviews. Let's face it - there are people out there who become upset with nonprofits for any number of reasons and then take it out on the NPO in a public forum to maximize damage. If the complaint is relevant, the organizations I know in the sector (including my own) are usually pretty great about taking accountability. We always want to do better.

In the case of my organization's first review, it was written by someone who wasn't hired for a job. They got upset and wrote a disparaging review of our agency, and of another they were not hired at. The reviews offer no constructive value, they reviewed no other NPOs, nor did the reviewer use a real name (which should tell you something). Based on the "star" rating system, it was our first review, so it made us look like a "one star" nonprofit.

I reached out to the reviewer to get more information and was ignored. I asked the other agency they reviewed to advocate GreatNonprofits to remove the fake reviews. I asked Great Nonprofits twice to at least investigate and remove it, but they merely cited that they were free from liability under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. They also advised me that they will release the user's information with a subpoena. I don't want their information and our agency can't waste resources on a subpoena! I simply want the review investigated by GreatNonprofits and removed when they see that my complaints have merit. It's simple customer service.

I am all for free speech and all constitutional rights. However, prospective donors and funders look at these ratings and make judgments about nonprofits. Situations like the one we experienced can block potential funding. When libelous or slanderous activities damage the reputation of an organization thereby preventing it from positive business achievements, that is also unconstitutional and can be prosecuted by law.

A lot of other agencies have the same complaint, so it's just a matter of time before a rally cry goes up and GreatNonprofits feels serious pressure to change their tactics. If they organized to be a responsible partner in our sector, they need to understand and practice ethics as they have power to affect growth and progress in our communities.

Great NonProfits is wonderful! I have found working with them was a very pleasant and professional experience.

Youth Journalism International has found Great Nonprofits a wonderful resource for learning more about our own organization and for telling the world about its activities.
We also have to say a word of praise for how quickly its technical staff fixed a glitch not of its own making. These folks are really good.

I had the pleasure of working for GreatNonprofits during the second half of 2010, and I truly believe in this organization's ability to revolutionize the nonprofit sector. I spoke to many nonprofits during my time there that raved about GreatNonprofits and the powerful feedback/storytelling tool it provides. Perla Ni and her fabulous team are giving a voice to those most closely touched by nonprofits -- people whose stories might not be heard otherwise. The GreatNonprofits staff is composed of some of the most dedicated and hardworking people I have ever met; their belief in and commitment to the GreatNonprofits mission is a testament to the organization's value.

I've served on the board of this remarkable organization almost since its inception. Founder Perla Ni is an inspiration, and the organization's mission is close to my heart: offering a viable alternative to the financially-based evaluations of nonprofit effectiveness from the self-appointed watchdog organizations.

This group allows stalkers and kooks to post false negative "reviews" about any non-profit they like. They are allowing people to harass good groups which help children and animals. They do not enforce their own Terms and Conditions, "You may post or submit feedback, materials, information, ideas, opinions and other content ("Content"), provided that your Content does not: (i) violate a third party's rights, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) contain material that is false, intentionally misleading, or defamatory; (iii) contain material that is unlawful, including illegal hate speech or pornography; exploits or otherwise harms minors; (iv) contain images of or links or references to tobacco and alcohol products; or (v) violate or advocate the violation of any law or regulation."

This site has high-minded words but its actions DAMAGE many great nonprofits. Any kook can write a bunch of lies about a "real" experience and cause real damage.

Great nonprofits appears to be a politically-motivated group pretending to be a dispassionate, non-partisan charity monitor. The first review received by several very well run conservative groups appear to be merely hit pieces. One on Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, for example, says the group should lose its tax-exempt status just because it doesn't agree with the global warming orthodoxy. It's donors sure know already about its writings on the topic and the suggestion that the group should lose its tax-exempt status borders on libel. After reviewing Greatnonprofit's funding sources, it appears this could be by design. The funders are a veritable Who's Who of left-wing environmental funders... W.K. Kellogg, Hewlett and others. This group has no credibility whatsoever.

I heard about GreatNonprofits today when I read a deliberately mis-leading review you published about the National Center for Public Policy Research. The reviewer claimed the National Center hounded her father, sent repeated junk mail and bankrupted him, and also said the Center wasted its money for personal use. I know from personal contact with the Center and some of its researchers that none of this is true. Their research is impeccable, and they will take the time to talk to me to answer questions. I'm a small donor and get 2 letters a year, at my request. GreatNonprofits makes a big mistake that threatens its own credibility when it does nothing to verify reviews and refuses to delete reviews after provable facts discrediting the review have been given to it.

Great Non-Profits does not appear to be committed to responsible philanthropy. It permits reviewers to post libelous statements about institutions. For example, one anonymous reviewer accuses the two top executives of an institution with which I am affiliated, The National Center for Public Policy Research, of keeping most of the money raised by the institution. Together, their compensation was roughly 3.5% of the expenditures and, according to an independent survey commissioned in 2007, their salaries were substantially below the mean. GreatNonprofits will not take down the numerous libelous statements. This does a tremendous disservice not only to my institution, but to GreatNonprofits as once it was informed of the false information, it incurred legal liability if it continued to post them. This suggests extremely poor judgment. Non-profit reviews from the public can be of great value to donors, if that are responsible. Reviews intended as malicious do not better inform prospective donors, nor, for that matter, do reviews from those with no experience with the institution in question. The reviewer in question was not a donor, but a relative of a donor. Those of us who have been in the non-profit field for a while recognize that there are those who object to charitable giving that will cut into

Your service is turning out to be such a wonderful opportunity. We've never had a good channel for feedback and suggestions before, and the outpouring of enthusiasm and constructive ideas has been priceless. A fringe benefit is that I now have quotes I can use in my next grant proposal!

As much as those of us who run nonprofit organizations believe in our mission, and our ability to communicate the importance of what we do, the simple fact is that we're not the best people to tell our story. The most insightful and credible people to do so are the clients, volunteers and donors who experience the results from a different and understandably less biased perspective. Great Nonprofits has now created a central location for them to share their experiences with potential clients, volunteers, donors, and very importantly, with those who run the organization. Able Flight was an early adopter of the opportunity to be reviewed, and has encouraged those who have real-world, first-hand experience with us to, in their own words, "write from the heart" to allow others to learn of this unique organization that provides flight training scholarships for people with disabilities. With links from our w ebsite and newsletter, we welcome those who are interested in our mission to visit Great Nonprofits to learn about Able Flight from those who know us best.

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to connect and communicate through GreatNonprofits. Just days after completing our profile, we were contacted by a local business that had some resources to give away. They used our GreatNonprofits profile and reviews to determine which organization they would donate to. GreatNonprofits provides an invaluable service and has created a lively, interactive way to spread the good news being done all around us.

GreatNonprofits has established itself as an innovator in the field in a very short timeframe. The Human Services Center is fortunate to have this new vehicle to promote our work to potential volunteers, interns, and donors. The value-add of this service has already been beneficial to our work as volunteers and prospective interns have found their way to our unique agency thanks to GreatNonprofits. Perla and Vivien have been responsive to the needs of agencies in the development stage.

In theory I like the idea of Great Nonprofits. Good, more focus on quality and accountability! But in practice I question if charitable organizations need another entity to comply with. As a development director for a community health center with over 90 grants, I am struck by the amount of justifying we must do in order to get (or stay) funded for something as vital as health care for poor people. I am also struck by how much pressure our staff are under to provide high quality care to our patients. This has been the same for all of the service-oriented nonprofits that I have worked for in the past, or am doing pro-bono work for now, regardless of whether they were well-established with large operating budgets, or small startups. What is the mission of Great Nonprofits? the best I could glean from the website is that they want to set up a website like Yelp for nonprofits...'You already know that reviews by other people who have gone to a restaurant or tried out a doctor are the best way to find out about the quality of those services..' The first question I ask is how many people who are targeted by people who access, let's just say safety-net services, have the time or resources to bother to register to this website and then write a review for a nonprofit? Most are too busy trying to get health insurance or pay the rent. I looked at some of the reviews and the only one I found that was negative was from someone who appeared to be trying to get a job and was disgruntled that the nonprofit only seemed to hire from within. So the website implies that this is a community service...For who's community? The second question is actually for anyone who has dedicated their life to working in the nonprofit sector. Not as an academic or for a foundation -- who seem to be the people that are controlling the public discourse about what we should "do" with the nonprofit sector (Stanford Social Innovation Review is a good example). If you've never actually had a personal connection with a grant/donation funded nonprofit program budget--i.e. it feeds you or sustains the program you care about-- than I don't think your opinion counts for much. Getting back to the question...Do YOU think it's appropriate for another nonprofit, and the people who frequent its website (who may or may not be your patients/clients), to represent the programs that you work to sustain with little stars on their web page, when it is most likely that donors--not patients/clients-- will be judging your program by the little stars? Based on the cast of characters that make up the board and management of Great Nonprofits I am wondering if the organization's core concept was not just a half-baked idea cooked up in some well-funded, good-meaning "community forum" with token nonprofits in attendance. Nonprofits that were actually only there to meet foundation people so they could fund their nonprofit programs that are expected to cover their overhead at no more than 15%...And are very amenable to the bright ideas of the people who give them money. Looking at the Board and staff bios, *very impressive*, with the exception of Bill Jackson and Tom Reis, none of them make any mention of actually working for a nonprofit. They are all either donors or academics. So does internet-based rating of nonprofits hold any value? I guess we'll find out, looking at the kind of backing the organization attests to have on its website. I'm a little concerned that it could just end up creating more barriers for people like me to help nonprofits succeed by creating another bogus way for funders to screen who they give money to. If the method by which Great Nonprofits appears to be attempting to transform accountability and improve quality for nonprofits is suspect, and I would contest that nonprofits ARE NOT LIKE RESTAURANTS (which is a whole other rant), why do it? I don't get it. By the way, I appreciate that Great Nonprofits put itself out there to be rated.

Finally - a way to gain feedback from the people who interact with a nonprofit! GreatNonProfits.org solves provides solutions in so many ways -- (1) listening to those served by a nonprofit's services or products, (2) helping volunteers and staff find a great place to work, and (3) assisting donors with a truthful look at the good and the bad. Each of these is a breakthrough on its own. So glad that GNP is growing fast - this sector needs more information, more ratings and more two-way communications that are honest, direct and spur ideas for efficiency as well as effectiveness. Bravo!

I LOVE this organization. Both the idea of having independent, transparent reviews of nonprofits, and the tool itself. Great Nonprofits is well thought out and easy to use. I know from my own work in the nonprofit sector that it is really hard to get objective information on how a nonprofit or its projects are actually performing without investing in lots of research. This is one simple way of capturing that information, that leverages a trend of greater openness. It is an idea and organization whose time has come!!!
