WASHINGTON, April 6, 2021, /3BL Media/ - America’s Charities, the nonprofit that inspires employees and organizations to support causes they care about, today announced it has been recognized as one of the 2021 Best Nonprofits To Work For by The NonProfit Times and Best Companies Group. The award honors America’s Charities as one of 50 best employers across the nonprofit industry in 2021, benefiting the industry's economy, workforce, and businesses. Workplaces that make this prestigious list are known for providing an outstanding culture and excellent employee experiences.

The respect, care, and compassion our team members have for one another, our clients and members, and the greater community is what makes America’s Charities such a rewarding workplace.”
Nonprofits from across the United States entered the two-part Best Nonprofits To Work For survey process. The first part, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation, consisted of evaluating each nominated organization's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. The second part, worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation, consisted of an employee survey to measure their experience. Independent research group Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data, and determined the ranking.
According to results of America’s Charities employee survey, the organization achieved an overall satisfaction rate of 91 percent, with 97 percent of employees sharing that their job “provides them with a sense of meaning and purpose.” In addition, 97 percent feel that the organization “has created an environment where they can do their best work,” and 100 percent say they are “proud to work for this organization.” Other survey feedback included:

America’s Charities’ focus is workplace philanthropy. By helping nonprofits fundraise unrestricted, sustainable dollars through the workplace, the organization has raised more than $750 million for more than 25,000 nonprofits addressing a range of causes.

Last year America’s Charities celebrated its 40th anniversary as a pioneer of giving and engagement, working towards bringing more resources to the nonprofits that are changing our world.
“The America’s Charities team prides itself on walking the walk,” added Starr. “Every day we advise our clients and nonprofit members about the future of workplace philanthropy, so it’s incredibly important that we follow our own proven practices. From hiring a diverse team of smart, passionate people who reflect our stakeholders to hosting our own workplace giving program that empowers our employees to support the causes they care about, I am proud of the intentional culture we have built that reflects our staff’s values. Being honored as a Best Nonprofit To Work For is wonderful recognition. Above all, I am grateful to work alongside so many talented, caring, committed individuals.”
