TANDEM NAMED “2019 TOP-RATED NONPROFIT” by GreatNonprofits

 

Award based on Outstanding Online Reviews

 

Tandem, Partners in Early Learning announced today it has been named a “2019 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits. Tandem has been a top-rated nonprofit since 2015. Tandem’s mission is to engage the whole community to ensure all families have the resources, skills, and confidence they need to support their children’s kindergarten readiness. Tandem’s programs include a school-to-home book-sharing program, as well as workshops for parents on early learning topics, and professional development trainings on early childhood brain development and family engagement strategies for educators and family support professionals.

 

“We are honored to be named a Top-Rated Nonprofit for the sixth year in a row,” says Executive Director Savitha Moorthy. “This has been a year of transition, but we are so pleased to have the continued support of our community to provide families with quality early learning experiences. As our services and programs continue to grow, we look forward to finding more ways to support young children to reach kindergarten ready to learn, grow, and succeed.”

 

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is the based on the rating and number of reviews that Tandem received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients. “The Tandem program has helped my students enjoy reading…their vocabulary and letter recognition [is] increasing. [Tandem’s] books are interactive, so the students are engaged. By sending books home every week, the families are getting involved in their child’s development of early literacy skills. It is an excellent program that is supporting my students in their reading development,” shared an educator currently receiving Tandem’s StoryCycles® book-sharing program.

 

“Tandem is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in their community,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work, but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with them.”

 

GreatNonprofits is the leading website where people share stories about their personal experiences on more than 1.6 million charities and nonprofits. The GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Awards are the only awards for nonprofits determined by those who have direct experience with the charities – as donors, volunteers and recipients of aid.
