  • Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) May 30, 2014 - GCFLearnFree has been honored with a prestigious 2014 Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, a provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations.

    "We are excited to be named a Top-Rated 2014 Nonprofit," says Matt Robinson, director of distance learning for GCFLearnFree. "We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including our recent website redesign, the addition of our latest grammar and math tutorials, and the introduction of our GCF Projects mobile app."

    The Top-Rated Nonprofit award was based on the number of positive reviews GCFLearnFree has received. People have posted their personal experiences with the nonprofit, including educators who use the online education provider's original content for training and online learners themselves who have benefitted from the organization's offerings.

    "Our organization utilizes GCFLearnFree in the computer classrooms at all of our Job Connection Centers across six counties, as well as in our specialized computer skills training program," wrote one reviewer. "All of the instructors find it easy to use and have noted that the participants in the classes love it!"

    "GCFLearnFree is an essential element of the services we provide to our communities. It's one of the first things we teach people to do," wrote another reviewer. "Often, people tell me how much they'd like to improve their computer skills. I can't tell you how many people I've directed to this site."

    While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, GCFLearnFree was part of the inaugural group to qualify for the year. In addition, the organization has been added to the GreatNonprofits #GivingTuesdayGuide, an interactive guide to top nonprofits throughout the years that will be available to the public as the 2014 holiday season approaches.
