The list of 25 top-rated nonprofits (with an average user rating of 4 or more out of 5 stars) in the San Mateo area offers a wide variety of organizations.
If your favorite nonprofit isn’t on the list, you can add to this community resource and help others discover great local nonprofits by adding it to GreatNonprofits.org, then writing and posting a review. Not only does this provide useful feedback for organizations, which they can use for self-assessment and improvement, but it serves as compelling evidence about their work, which they can show to donors.
It is also a great way to find out about volunteer, internship, and job opportunities at local nonprofits.
“It’s so rewarding for people to discover on-the-ground, maybe lesser-known nonprofits doing great work in their own communities,” said Ni. “Getting involved, volunteering or interning with local nonprofits can be a terrific experience, because nonprofits need and appreciate the help. You can get substantive responsibilities and hone real-world skills. And you'll be able to make a difference and see it in your own community!"
