For the sixth time, The NonProfit Times has recognized Gulf Coast Community Foundation (Gulf Coast) as one of the country’s “Best Nonprofits To Work For.” The national publication ranked Gulf Coast 17th on its 2023 list of the 50 “Best Nonprofits To Work For” which was published in a special report on April 1. The foundation placed 12th on the Small Employer Category (15 to 49 employees). Gulf Coast also received the “Best Nonprofit to Work For” recognition in 2010, 2011, 2017, 2020, and 2021. The NonProfit Times partners with Best Companies Group to vet the organizations from where leaders submit applications to complete. The program is designed to recognize outstanding places of employment in the United States. The “Best Nonprofits” program, conducted annually by The NonProfit Times, is designed to identify the best employers in the nonprofit sector and recognize leadership and strategies that can benefit the sector and those it serves. The results are based on a rigorous survey process open to nonprofits across the country. Selection of this year’s honorees was a months-long process. As part of the survey, there is one section where staff members are asked to react to 77 statements. Most of the organizations on the list survey staff at least annually to keep communication lines open. Besides the list ranking, the “Best Nonprofits” program offers participating organizations the opportunity to receive a benchmark report it can use to further organizational and staff development. That data is a particularly valuable reason to participate, said Gulf Coast’s Chief Operating Officer, Veronica Thames.
