Over the course of Pride Month, more than 32,000 people visited the GreatNonprofits Web site, and 736 reviews were posted about more than sixty LGBTQ organizations.
“The Awards gave voice to many of our constituents that we don’t hear from,” says Charles Robbins, Executive Director of The Trevor Project, which won for best LGBTQ organization with an annual budget over $1 million. “It was incredibly meaningful for our staff to hear youth saying ‘I was saved because of the work of The Trevor Project.’ It’s monumental.” Bonnie Rosenbaum is the Deputy Director of Keshet, Inc., the winner among organizations with budgets between $250,000 and $1,000,000. She says, “We are both humbled and fiercely proud of the feedback we have received from our community by participating. Statements such as, ‘my life is better because they exist’ inspire us as we work towards a day when all Jewish children – regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity – have a valued place in Jewish life.”
