My Nonprofit Reviews

Creative Reaction Lab is not only making a difference in our communities but continually leading the pack on what it means to innovate the ways that we serve. I've always been impressed by the organization, yet Creative Reaction Lab continues to surprise me in new ways day after day.

For example, earlier this year when the pandemic first hit, while the rest of us looked around wondering what to do and what this would mean for our lives, our families, our communities, and the orgs we cared about Creative Reaction Lab wa building new programs to serve its communities. Notably, they acted on behalf of their communities, in response to their mission without worrying about themselves. At the height of the pandemic, Creative Reaction Lab launched the Youth Creative Leadership Fund (YCLF) to financially assist youth, their families, and their community members who were bearing the brunt of the structural inequities that COVID has shined light on for so many. As an organization who has been doing the work to care for those that our systems have left behind for years, Creative Reaction had the perspective and community connections to create an intervention that made real impact while so many of us sat helpless. Many of us worry about the financial and structrual health of the organizations that we donate to and support as well, so I am pleased to say that in the last year Creative Reaction Lab made substantial changes to its business model as well, including introdcing a popular series of online trainings all of which have led to unprecedented growth in the organization's financial foundation. Even as a young organiation, Creative Reaction Lab has already built a legacy to be proud of and is poised to continue to keep growing its impact and legacy over the next few years. I can't wait to see and support in what the organization does next.
