If your favorite nonprofit isn’t on the list, you can help add to this community resource and help others discover great local nonprofits by writing and posting a review on GreatNonprofits.org. Not only does this provide useful feedback for organizations, which they can use for self-assessment and improvement, but it serves as compelling evidence about their work, which they can show to donors.
“It’s so rewarding for people to discover on-the-ground, maybe lesser-known nonprofits doing great work in their own communities,” said Ni. “Getting involved, volunteering or interning with local nonprofits can be a terrific experience, because nonprofits need and appreciate the help. You can get substantive responsibilities and hone real-world skills. And you'll be able to make a difference and see it in your own community."
The full list of more than 1 million nonprofits, which users can explore using zip code, issue, and rating filters, is available at http://greatnonprofits.org/.
