Get involved with the 2010 GreatNonprofits Arts Appreciation Campaign

There are two and a half weeks left for you to be part of the 2010 GreatNonprofits Arts Appreciation Campaign. People are speaking up about nonprofits that have enriched their communities through the arts.
What will they say about you?

Check out the reviews…

If you don’t have any reviews yet, read on to see how you can get reviewed.
GreatNonprofits has teamed up with Guidestar and Intersection for the Arts to launch the 2010 Arts Appreciation Campaign to recognize the top-rated nonprofits that enrich your community through the arts.
If your nonprofit has at least 10 positive reviews (4 or 5 stars) by February 28, you will receive exposure to potential donors via the GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Arts Nonprofits list and via Guidestar, the premier site for philanthropic research on the Web.

Benefits:

Increased exposure to donors: Potential donors will want to read personal accounts of your impact. In 2009 more than 450,000 people visited GreatNonprofits to read and write reviews.

Improved community loyalty: Take this opportunity to engage your stakeholders. Your clients, volunteers, donors, and board members who write a review about you are likely to become more ardent supporters.

Gain powerful, authentic stories of your impact that you can use in your internal and external communication. Your community will be sharing with the public their best experiences with you.

How you can participate: Invite people who have seen your work – your volunteers, clients, board members, and others – to write a review about you. It’s easy! You can:

Send them an email with the link to your reviews page: www.greatnonprofits.org/reviews/changing-images-art-foundation-inc (Sample email provided below)

Christopher Academy 2009/2010 Commmunity Service Project

The 2009/2010 Community Service Project put together by the Christopher Academy Parent’s Association was held in classrooms January 25th-27th. The event was a great success!

This year’s project was for our children to prepare bagged lunches for clients of St. Joseph’s Social Services in Elizabeth, NJ. In addition to preparing the bagged lunches, the children learned about overcoming challenges by reading books in the classroom.

More information on St. Joseph’s Social Services can be found at www.stjosephelizabeth.org or by clicking here.

The Community Service Project is an important tradition of the Parents Association, linking families, children, classrooms and community in a visible way for the children. We hope you’ll take a moment to get involved.
