Every Wednesday between 4-5pm PT, the Voice America Network broadcasts an upbeat program, Starstyle®-Be the Star You Are!®, brought to the airwaves under the auspices of Be the Star You Are!® charity. For the seventh consecutive year, Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 charity has been honored with a prestigious 2016 Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations. Less than 1% of all non profits in the United States receive this coveted honor.

“We are excited to be named a Top-Rated 2016 Nonprofit once again!” says Cynthia Brian, Founder and Executive Director of Be the Star You Are!® 501c3 charity. “All the volunteers have worked very hard and we are very proud of our accomplishments this year, including our Operation Disaster Relief program and our two international radio shows, Starstyle® Be the Star You Are!® and Express Yourself!™ that are bringing positive messages to the world.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit award was based on the large number of positive reviews that Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 charity received – reviews written by volunteers, donors and clients. People posted their personal experience with the nonprofit. For example, one person wrote, “To say that Be the Star You Are!® has changed my life would be an understatement!”

While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 was part of the inaugural group to qualify for the year. In addition, Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 has been added to GreatNonprofits #GivingTuesday Guide—an interactive guide to top nonprofits throughout the years. Look for this near the holidays.

“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “People with direct experience with Be the Star You Are!® 501 c3 have voted that the organization is making a real difference.”

Being on the Top-Rated list gives donors and volunteers more confidence that this is a credible organization. The reviews by volunteers, clients, and other donors show the on-the-ground results of this nonprofit. This award is a form of recognition by the community.
