My Nonprofit Reviews

Concern is a grassroots organization that has made a significant impact in Cancer research. At Concern, each dollar is stretched to capacity in order to fund as many researchers as possible. Concern uses a scientific review board in order to distribute funds, so each decision is made carefully and thoughtfully by experts at the top of the field. They also put on various events for children with cancer and their families, and smaller fundraisers like throwing fundraiser spin classes or having a team run marathons to raise money. Concern is saavy and the team is so dedicated to their work.

I love honoring friends by making donations in their name, and Concern is one of the only organizations I've given to which sends out a thank you note to the donor and the honoree immediately!

As a millennial, my favorite fundraiser of the year is Concern's annual block party on the Paramount studios lot. Held the Saturday after July 4, it is seriously the most fun event in town and for such an incredible cause.

Concern is one of a kind and a truly special organization.
