Irvine, Calif., Nov. 13, 2018 - MIND Research Institute announced today it has been named a “2018 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits.
MIND is a social impact organization specializing in neuroscience and education research. It is the creator of ST Math®, a visual instructional program that builds a deep conceptual understanding of math through rigorous learning and creative problem solving. Educators use this program to deeply engage, motivate, and challenge PreK-8 students toward higher achievement. In addition to providing students with a solid foundation in math, MIND aims to prepare them to become part of the STEM workforce the future needs.
“We are honored to be named a 2018 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” said Brett Woudenberg, MIND’s CEO. “It is a fantastic achievement to be recognized by our happy customers, partners and volunteers. We appreciate GreatNonprofits for shining a light on our efforts to mathematically equip all students and ready them to become future STEM leaders.“
The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that an organization receives from volunteers, donors and aid recipients. “MIND is making a difference in the lives of many students,” said one reviewer. “Mathematics is often a gatekeeper for students to reach high levels in their education and in careers. ST Math gives confidence in math to all students and supports critical thinking and problem solving.”
“MIND 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 MIND.”
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 them – as donors, volunteers and recipients of aid.
