Why do people use TexasNonprofits?
The University of Houston Victoria as had great success with TexasNonprofits. We use the site for press releases, job posting and grant searches. The foundation searches are of great benefit; because they offer details that most search sites do not. The data base also adds a personal touch in regards to the foundations history and mission; which helps organizations like UHV know if our mission aligns with theirs. This process saves time and money for both the nonprofit and the foundation. I would also like to comment on the articles that are on the website. They are very helpful in giving readers a behind the scenes view on community issues and successes, donor and foundation relations and the overall interests in the State of Texas. Thank you for all you do for nonprofits in Texas. Amy Mundy, Director of Annual Giving, University of Houston-Victoria
Thank you, TXNP, for sharing our good news. I hope we help encourage other providers to communicate their equally good and inspiring stories. Steve Dutton, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Villages at Samaritan House
