Manassas, VA (May 6, 2016)– The National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) has been honored with a prestigious 2016 Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations. You can visit the NSBC page on GreatNonprofits to see more information about the award as well as the featured reviews.
“We are excited to be named a Top-Rated2016Nonprofit,” says Rachel Johnson, NSBC Executive Director. “We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including co-hosting the International Boating and Water Safety Summit in San Diego, CA, working to translate our training manuals into Spanish to help train underrepresented communities, and the creation of our new, award-winning Wear It! Public Service Announcement featuring Shaw Grigsby, Bassmaster Elite Series Angler and host of ‘One More Cast’ on The Sportsman Channel.”
The Top-Rated Nonprofit award was based on the large number of positive reviews that the NSBCreceived – reviews written by volunteers, donors and clients. People posted their personal experience with the nonprofit. SDSAR shared about the NSBC: “Great nonprofit, great programs, great people! Our waters would not be safe without the information, updates and connectivity with the boating education community, we fully support the NSBC and their programs.”
While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, the NSBC was part of the inaugural group to qualify for the year. In addition, our organization will be added to GreatNonprofits#GivingTuesday Guide—an interactive guide to top nonprofits throughout the years.
