We've rounded up a few examples of the ways that gathering reviews has helped organizations to reach new supporters, highlight their accomplishments, and gain valuable feedback. If you've got a success story to add, please email us. We are always excited to learn about the new and creative ways nonprofits use their reviews!

 

Nonprofit Success Stories

New York, NY

This organization used stories from GNP website in many communication channels, such as social media, email and in-person events to gain media attention and have conversations with potential donors/funders. 
 

Allison Park, PA

This organization has used reviews by volunteers to fine-tune their process for recruiting and training new volunteers. NHCO has a link on their homepage to their GNP reviews, which has noticeably increased both the number and size of donations to the group.

Washington, D.C

After it attracted 188 reviews last year, this organization was able to raise an extra $3,000 in its year-end campaign from donors, despite the difficult economic climate, and it attributed this support to the GNP reviews. Now, the group is incorporating quotes from the reviews in its new brochure and other marketing materials.

Newport Beach, CA

This nonprofit sent an email out to major donors highlighting some of its GNP reviews. As a result, two new donors each gave $50,000 to the organization (which represented half of OCF's annual budget); and another, based on GNP reviews, awarded OCF $300,000 in unrestricted funding.

Cincinnati, Ohio

After receiving 12 glowing reviews in the January Job Training and Placement Campaign, this organization was prominently featured in a local news story highlighting their placement on the top-rated list. See the video here.

Wiscasset, ME

This nonprofit has been around for 94 years, and thus has a very large alumni pool. When Chewonki heard about GNP, they sent one email to their contact list of about 5,000 people, and within a week, 168 people had posted stories of their experiences, some of which dated back decades, on the GNP site.

Belmont, CA

Soon after some reviews from their volunteer career coaches were posted to GNP, this organization was approached by a local business that - based the reviews - gave them an in-kind donation of much-needed office supplies.
