Subject: Reviews of your organization appear Feb. 28th
Dear Paul,
I'm contacting you because you're identified as one of the top 5000
organizations in the country by Guidestar.org, and we want to make
sure you are aware that reviews of Seattle Aquarium Society will be
on your GuideStar page beginning February 28th.
My name is Perla Ni and I am CEO of GreatNonprofits. GreatNonprofits
is powering the reviews on GuideStar. The reviews of Seattle Aquarium Society
are posted by your volunteers, clients, donors, board
members--the people that know you the best--and can share their
stories and experiences with you (kind of like Yelp, but specifically
targeted for nonprofits). We encourage you to ask your stakeholders-
their clients, volunteers, and board members to write a candid review
about their experience with you. This is a FREE way to gain
visibility and vividly show the impact of the work you do.
Currently, GreatNonprofits has no reviews by its stakeholders-
www.greatnonprofits.org/reviews/seattle-aquarium-society-seas You can
see the poignant reviews other organizations have gathered that have
helped them gain more volunteers and community support here:
Square Peg Foundation
Able Flight
Project Homeless Connect
Will you take a minute and ask those involved with your nonprofit to
write a review? I'm attaching some text at the end of this email that
you can just copy and paste into a message to your lists asking them
to write reviews about you--you'll start to see returns immediately.
When people are passionate about their organizations, they jump at the
chance to share their experiences.
If you have any questions or would like to talk more in depth about
the best strategies for getting reviews, feel free just shoot me an
email.
Sincerely,
Perla Ni
CEO, GreatNonprofits
