GreatNonprofits released results of their first ever awards of the top-rated cancer fighting charities. The Cancer Fighters Awards contest asked people who have been touched by and have experienced the work and support offered by nonprofits serving the cancer community to rate and review the organizations.
According to Perla Ni, CEO and founder of GreatNonprofits, these awards bring attention to some of the smaller nonprofits and show how they have saved peoples’ lives.
