Press Release by GreatNonprofits:
GreatNonprofits and GuideStar jointly announce the launch of the 2010 Power of Education Campaign, which seeks to identify top-rated organizations working on the many and varied aspects of education.
Partners in the campaign, which will run throughout the month of September, include Everybody Wins! USA, All Kinds of Minds, the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, Children’s Literacy Initiative, The Partnership for After School Education, DonorsChoose.org, Givology and Little Kids Rock.
We are also pleased to be working with blogger Sue Scheff, a parent advocate and author during this campaign.
A major goal of the campaign is to raise public awareness about the many excellent nonprofit organizations that work on education issues and initiatives — including schools and their supporting organizations — as a new school year begins for them.
Any educational nonprofit that gets at least 10 new positive stakeholder reviews by midnight, September 30th will be recognized on the GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Education Nonprofits List. “There are so many wonderful nonprofit organizations working on education from all sorts of perspectives,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits. “Through this campaign, we hope to shine a spotlight on their important work.”
Participants in the campaign can expect to receive increased exposure to donors and volunteers and increased visibility in their communities and the media.
Research conducted by GreatNonprofits indicates that user reviews are having a wide array of impacts on nonprofit organizations – from fundraising to volunteer recruitment to programmatic changes.
The user reviews gathered by GreatNonprofits are written by anyone with personal experience with a nonprofit, i.e., a donor, volunteer, board member, client, or member of the public.
Over the past year more than 450,000 people visited GreatNonprofits to read and write these reviews.
