GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organization, recently gave the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County its 2013 Top-Rated Award.
“We are excited to be named a Top-Rated 2013 Nonprofit,” said Jennifer Carpenter Low, director of development for the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center. “The Center could not operate at the world-class level that it does without the commitment of volunteer educators, Holocaust survivors and liberators, and our committed board of Directors who have steered the HMTC in exciting new directions in programming and outreach. Survivors’ and liberators’ eye-witness testimony adds efficacy to our work with young people. And, our educational volunteers demonstrate the meaning of being an Upstander.”
The Top-Rated Nonprofit award was based on the large number of positive reviews that the HMTC received – reviews written by volunteers, donors and clients.
For example, one person wrote, “Because of this wonderful institution, I have learned so much about the struggles faced by so many innocent people during this horrific time of history. When I say that is changed my life, I am not exaggerating at all. Walking through its halls, listening to the Survivors tell their inspiring stories, and feeling the presence of the spirits of those who perished so needlessly has made me even more sensitive to bias, racism, and intolerance. The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center has inspired me to share their message of peace and tolerance with my students.”
The HMTC was part of the inaugural group to qualify as a 2013 Top-Rated Nonprofit, which was announced on July 18.
“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits. She added, “People with direct experience with the HMTC have voted that the organization is making a real difference.”
