2015 Top-Rated US Charities List Ranks Veteran Tickets Foundation # 1

Press Releases

GreatNonprofits, the largest site for nonprofit stories and reviews announced the 2015 Top-Rated Nonprofit  List. Veteran Ticket Foundation (Vet Tix) based in Tempe, AZ  was ranked number one in 4 categories: veterans, military, 2015 campaign and overall versus 1,417 nonprofits listed with 5 stars by over 1,000 respondents.

The Top-Rated List of 1,417 nonprofits helps donors and volunteers find the best charities this Season of Giving.  The end of year is when most Americans donate and volunteer for nonprofits.  Donations surpassed $456 billion in 2014. Unlike other charity awards, the Top-Rated award winners were selected solely by people who have had involvement with the nonprofit as volunteers, donors, or those who have been helped by the nonprofit.

“This is the people’s awards for nonprofits.” says founder and CEO, Perla Ni. “These are top nonprofits, as nominated by people in those communities who see the work of these nonprofits on the ground.”

Vet Tix CEO Mike Focareto, stated “we are honored that we have been rated so high by GreatNonprofits as the top-rated nonprofits in this prestigious program. Supporting current serving military, veterans and their families with entertainment, lasting memories and reintegration opportunities by providing tickets to sporting events, concerts and family activities is our only goal. We thank everyone who helped us grow to over 280,000 members and serving over 1.6 million tickets.

For the complete list of Top-Rated charities.

About Veteran Tickets Foundation

Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation supporting our military community. Vet Tix has provided over 1.6 million free event tickets to currently serving military, veterans and family members of those killed in action to sporting events, concerts, performing arts and family activities. Our military and veterans experience many difficult transitions as they reintegrate into their families, communities, and eventually, into civilian life. Attending events improves morale, strengthens family bonds through shared interests and encourages service members to stay engaged with local communities and American life. In gratitude for their service and to support their reintegration, Vet Tix is dedicated to giving back to those who gave us so much. Donations are eligible for tax deductions.
