NAUDL Selected for S&I 100
The S&I 100 is the first-ever index of nonprofits with evidence of results and the potential to grow 
 
Chicago, IL- November 19, 2012- The National Association for Urban Debate Leagues has been selected for the S&I 100 Index.

 

The Social Impact 100 (S&I 100) (www.SI100.org) is the first-ever index of U.S. nonprofits that have evidence of results and the potential to grow. The Index helps these nonprofits find the capital they need to reach more people, and empowers donors to make a bigger difference.
 
"We are pleased to be a part of the S&I 100 Index. Our inclusion on the index affirms the NAUDL as the national leadership organization for urban debate," said Linda Listrom, Executive Director, NAUDL."Our continued focus on demonstrating the impact of involvement in urban debate resonates with philanthropists who want to support efforts that work. Debate works. We are eager to grow and are looking for partners who want to help us create more opportunities for young people to participate in debate. Our strategic plan calls for us to triple the number of young people debating over the coming five years. Efforts like S&I 100 will help us get there."  

 

Covering 100 high-impact nonprofits and nearly 16,000 local affiliates that are implementing their solutions, the Index features nonprofits like ours that address the country's most pressing issues in education, health, youth and poverty. Each of the 100 organizations has been rigorously screened for proof of impact and is only included in the Index if it has the ability to serve more people in need.

 

When donors use the S&I100, they can search for high performing nonprofits in the issue areas and locations they care about and give directly to the organizations in a few quick and easy steps, making it easier for nonprofits like us to raise funds to grow our work.

 

We are proud to be selected as a featured organization on the S&I 100. See for yourself and then share the good news with others who are looking to give with impact.
