Review for New Canaan Mounted Troop Inc, New Canaan, CT, USA
I have been a member of NCMT for over 15 years. What is amazing about this charity is how dedicated it and its members are to passing on its legacy of teaching responsibility through sound horsemanship over its almost 75 years of existence. People who were members as children 50 years ago still keep in touch and share amazing photographs and stories of how the lessons learned at NCMT have shaped their lives. NCMT continues to impart this life experience on children today. NCMT also gives horses who are otherwise not needed anymore wonderful new jobs and a new home where they are loved and cared for expertly by NCMT's professional staff and by all the children in the program. NCMT has also recently added a therapeutic riding program to its roster. One only needs to see how many members volunteer to work with the children in this program to realize what an amazing community NCMT has built. I have made life long friends at NCMT, and I continue to believe it is one of the greatest non-profits anyone will ever encounter.

Review for OPIN, Stamford, CT, USA
My family have been volunteers / adopters / donors to the Stamford Animal Care & Control shelter for 20 years. When OPIN came into existence, there was a remarkable improvement in the care, publicity and efforts to get the dogs and cats at the shelter good medical care and publicity to get them adopted. I can't even begin to illuminate how much OPIN has improved the quality of life for the animals at the shelter, and hopefully for the staff as well. These animals desperately needed someone on their side, and not just someone doing a job. OPIN, and the addition of the great Laurie Hollywood as shelter director, has made all the difference for the animals. OPIN is a true grass roots organization run by dedicated volunteers. If OPIN doesn't qualify as a "Great Nonprofit" then no one does.
