In honor of GLBTQ Pride month this June, the 2009 GreatNonprofits Pride Choice Awards will recognize the top-rated LGBTQ nonprofits. 

The contest asks people to write reviews of LGBTQ nonprofits they have had an experience with.  Nonprofits can also encourage their volunteers, clients served, donors and board members to post reviews.   All reviews will be automatically visible on GuideStar.org, the leading site for philanthropic research.
 
"Reviews show the real human impact of an organization and raise the visibility and credibility of those nonprofits," says GreatNonprofits CEO Perla Ni.  "This will help highly-rated nonprofits attract more support and volunteers."

GreatNonprofits is a nonprofit Web site where people can post reviews of nonprofit organizations, similar to "Yelp" or "TripAdvisor."
 
Nonprofits with the most positive reviews in their category will be announced as winners and receive national media coverage as well as promotion on GuideStar.org.  Awards will be given out of eight categories (five geographic US regions and three budget size - small, medium and large). The contest deadline is June 30.
 
Those who submit a review are eligible to win fun prizes such as Alter Eco fair trade chocolate, a subscription to Stanford Social Innovation Review, a getaway at Kimpton hotels and more.
 
Submit reviews by June 30th at greatnonprofits.org/pride.
