My Nonprofit Reviews

Bpeace qualifies and selects businesses in need of assistance to become more successful. Then it matches those companies with volunteers like me who have skills to share and a desire to help. Bpeace staff coordinates and supports this effort to ensure success.
This is a great organization. I feel that my skills are valuable and I am really helping the organizations I participate with. In many cases the people I help become friends.

I have now been involved in Bpeace for over two years. I have served in many roles. My primary role has been "skillanthropist" using my business/technical skills to help small businesses (Fast Runners) become more successful. But I have also helped assess candidates to ensure that we help the companies where we can provide the most impact and have the greatest likelihood of success. And I am now also serving on the Executive Board to help guide Bpeace.
I have found all of these roles to be highly rewarding and well-supported by the organization to help ensure my success as well as the success of my Fast Runners.
It's a great organization and I strongly encourage others to support Bpeace with both action and donations.

Families have always been important to me. ShelterBox helps families survive and stay together after a disaster. They supply shelters, tools, and supplies to provide not only basic survival but also some measure of privacy and dignity to the family.
I have been an "ambassador" for about six months - a role in which I help educate people about the great things ShelterBox is doing, and help them raise funds. ShelterBox has helped over two million people so far, and the need is becoming ever more urgent.

Mission: Going into a challenged region and helping a business become more successful so that it can hire more people and help the surrounding community become more successful.
I have been involved with Bpeace as a "skillanthropist" (someone with skills to share) for just over a year. In that time I helped a pharmaceutical manufacturer in El Salvador, a food service integrator in NYC, and a decorative glass manufacturer in Guatemala. I found all three to be interesting and rewarding.
At first I found it intimidating, and maybe a bit scary -- what did I have to offer these companies and how could I contribute to their success? But I quickly found that I did have valuable skills to share. I found that they often needed someone to talk with, to explore fresh approaches and ideas, and to help them prioritize their activities.
I not only feel that I have made a significant contribution in helping them better operate their businesses, but have also made new friends.
I definitely plan to continue donating my time and money to Bpeace. I encourage you to get involved as well.
