What a joy to discover this week we’ve been receiving rave reviews on the site GreatNonprofits.org!  According to their website, Great Nonprofits exists to help consumers “…find, review, and talk about great — and perhaps not yet great — nonprofits. You already know that reviews by other people who have gone to a restaurant or tried out a doctor are the best way to find out about the quality of those services. If you have direct experience with a nonprofit, GreatNonprofits makes it easier for you to share your knowledge so that other people can discover the great nonprofits that are out there.”
