You can harness this passion to recruit more donors and volunteers to your cause by asking these people to write a review. Hear from Brian Hill, Executive Director of the Oral Cancer Foundation, and Laura Stepp, Director of Development for American Association of University Women, about how their nonprofits are tapping this passion and using their reviews to spread the word about their work and to stand out in an ever crowded marketplace of giving opportunities.
