Partnership with GuideStar
I am very excited to tell you about a new partnership between GreatNonprofits and Guidestar that we think will help nonprofits get more visibility and attract more volunteers and supporters.
As a result of our partnership, reviews posted on GreatNonprofits will also be seen on GuideStar.org later this Fall. In addition to this, GuideStar has some tremendous other new developments that will be unveiled in the Fall - watch for it!
This summer, we're working closely together to get the message out. We recently co-hosted the after-hour party at the CompassPoint conference in San Francisco. And GuideStar invited us to co-exhibit at the AMA Nonprofit conference in DC last week. Look for us and GuideStar making the rounds this summer!
New Outreach Managers !
I'm so excited to introduce our new outreach managers. They are smart, articulate, and dedicated to the nonprofit community. Allison, Sarah, Erin, Caroline, Lisa, Amanda, and Kathleen are all Stanford students.
They are being led by our intrepid Shari Ilsen and Sujata Shayam. Sujata was part of the team that did the outreach in Pittsburgh, PA and we're thrilled to have her rejoin us for this launch. More bios and pics of everyone here: http://www.greatnonprofits.org/team
The outreach managers did a week long orientation with activities and speakers such as Bruce Sievers. They visited GoodWill industries and Delancey Street restaurant in San Francisco and volunteered at Glide.
Now, they will be helping nonprofits to collect reviews from their stakeholders. Lisa and Sarah went on their first site visit this week to Peninsula Bridge Program where they collected reviews from Spanish-speaking parents of the kids in the program. Lisa has studied in Chile and Madrid and was able to speak to the parents and translate their stories. See http://www.greatnonprofits.org/user/1380
I'm going to be inviting these stellar outreach managers to post on this site about their experience. Drop Shari a line, if you can use the help of one of our outreach managers to come to you and help you collect reviews from your volunteers, clients or other stakeholders.
