Get more reviews and ratings for your nonprofit
A nonprofit gets more reviews by asking volunteers, donors and partners at the moment they have just seen the work, and by making it a quick, simple ask. People weigh other people’s words when deciding where to give. Never publish a story about someone you serve without their clear consent.

Ask people who have seen it
A volunteer finishing a shift, a donor at an event and a partner agency after a project are the people best placed to speak. A short thank-you with a link to your Google profile or a charity-rating page where you are listed makes it easy.
Stories, with consent
Supporter quotes are fine to share once they agree. Stories about the people you serve are different. Get written permission, protect names and details where needed, and let people say no.
Do not ask for reviews in exchange for a gift or a perk, and do not write them yourselves.
Thank people publicly, with care
Replying to a review is a chance to show who you are. Thank the writer, mention the program, and keep details about the people you serve out of it. If someone raises a concern, answer calmly and invite a conversation off the page. A kind reply shows future donors how the organization treats people.
