GreatNonprofits, GuideStar, and Charity Navigator announce the launch of the  GreatNonprofits Social Justice Campaign to identify top-rated organizations working to  end oppression and inequality worldwide.

GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user-generated ratings and reviews of  nonprofits, has partnered with several of the most celebrated organizations in the field for  the July campaign.

Free Press, Global Fund for Women, Earth Rights International, Equality Now, Alliance for Justice, ThirdGoal, and  American Constitution Society are joining GreatNonprofits to encourage volunteers and  donors everywhere to log on and review a nonprofit.

GuideStar, the leading source of philanthropic information on the Internet, and Charity  Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator, are also partners.

GreatNonprofits’ user reviews are written by anyone with personal experience with a  nonprofit, such as a donor, volunteer, board member, client, or member of the public.

Over the past year, more than 1 million people visited GreatNonprofits to read and write  these reviews.

Reviewed organizations will receive increased exposure to donors and volunteers and  increased visibility in their communities and the media. The process also allows potential  volunteers and donors to easily find the best organizations to work with.

“So many wonderful nonprofit organizations are working to fight injustices around the  world,  said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits. “This campaign is an opportunity to  shine a spotlight on their important work, and raise support for their causes. 

Any Social Justice nonprofit receiving ten or more new positive reviews by July 31, 2011  will be recognized on the GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Social Justice Nonprofits List.

About the Campaign

The inaugural Social Justice campaign will run through July. Reviews written on  GreatNonprofits.org will also appear on GuideStar.org and CharityNavigator.org.

Nonprofits with ten or more new positive reviews will be included on the  GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Social Justice Nonprofits List. Review submissions must  take place from July 1st through July 31st, 2011.
