Review for Feed My Starving Children, Coon Rapids, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I became a regular donor after hearing my father rave about the organization and all that they do to feed the hungry around the world. While I'm not physically located near any of their packaging sites in the US, I hear it is one of the most rewarding, short-term volunteer experiences one can have. That they are able to commit 94% of all donations to direct support of the food program is amazing! Their online platform for giving is seamless, and their balance of sharing information and asking for more is among the best I've experienced (don't feel overwhelmed by more and more asks for money).

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

truly change the world!

Review for New Urban Arts, Providence, RI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

New Urban Arts manages to make everyone who comes into contact with it have hope for the future of Providence and the world. As a board member for the past 7 years I've seen it grow and evolve - but most importantly, I've been able to grow and evolve with it. My profession is as a non-profit leader and consultant, but much of my greatest learning in this field has come from my interaction with New Urban Arts. That's what is so amazing about this organization - everyone is a learner, everyone is a teacher. If we all carry that out into the rest of the world, we will be the change we want to see in the world.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Always learning. This is the only organization I've ever experienced that truly lives the idea of a "learning organization."

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Some of the most inspiring, talented people I've ever met.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Change the world.

Role:  Board Member & what didn't I do? Everything from leading its first strategic planning effort to organizing fundraising events to seeing it through the transition from being Founder-led to now being truly community-led.
