High Fives Foundation Named “2022 TOP-RATED NONPROFIT” by GreatNonprofits

November 30, 2023

Award based on Community Recommendations

Truckee, CA /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – High Fives Foundation announced recently it has been named a “2023 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading website for community recommendations of charities and nonprofits.

High Fives Foundation provides financial support and healing resources to life-changing injury survivors across the nation, resulting in increased accessibility and inclusion in outdoor sports and recreation and improved quality of life.

“We are honored to be named a 2023 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says Roy Tuscany, Founder and CEO of High Fives Foundation. “We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including bringing on more qualified staff, expanding the C.R. Johnson Healing Center from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet, advising on accessible mountain bike trails, premiering the feature-length film Full Circle, and so many more achievements.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that High Fives Foundation received from volunteers, donors, and aid recipients. “This organization has given me my life back post-injury,” says High Fives athlete Ajay S. “After I broke my neck, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to return to sports. I was completely lost, since outdoor activity was such an essential part of my being. High Fives Foundation has not only enabled me to continue doing the sports I love, but do them alongside an incredible community of like-minded individuals. I’m not sure what I would have done without High Fives. They’ve been with me since the beginning and will be with me until the end.”

“High Fives Foundation is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in their community,” said Shari Tishman, Managing Director of GreatNonprofits, “Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work, but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with High Fives Foundation.”

GreatNonprofits is the largest donation website for nonprofits and where people share stories about their personal experiences on more than 1.8 million charities and nonprofits. The GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Awards are the only awards for nonprofits determined by those who have direct experience with the charities – as donors, volunteers and recipients of aid.
