Heartland Institute Rated a Top 2014 Nonprofit

The Heartland Institute has been named a 2014 top-rated nonprofit organization by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations.

In a written statement, Gwendalyn Carver, development director at The Heartland, said, We are excited to be named a 2014 Top-Rated Nonprofit. We are proud of our accomplishments this year. We are making a difference in national debates over climate change, Common Core State Standards, replacing Obamacare, and cutting taxes and repealing unnecessary regulations. Its wonderful to be recognized for that work!

Heartland received the award based on the large number of positive reviews it received online from volunteers, donors, elected officials, and other audiences it serves. One reviewer wrote this:

"The Heartland Institute is an oasis in a desert. They have very creatively put together a group of creditable experts in a number of critical disciplines that can weigh in on issues that are plaguing our society. Most of the issues are created in Washington by persons that 'dont know what they dont know.' I am amazed by the amount of information that is assembled for publications that deal with Environment (Climate Control), Education (Core Curriculum) and Budget and Taxes (Pensions). Joe Bast and his staff put it all together for those of us that still believe that the best government is the one that governs least."

Said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonproits, Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever. People with direct experience with Heartland have voted that the organization is making a real difference.

GreatNonprofits has been called "the leading site for donors and volunteers to find reviews and ratings of nonprofit organizations."
