Brighton Once Again Ranked a Best Nonprofit to Work For!

Brighton Center has made the national list of the 2021 The NonProfit Times as a Best Nonprofit To Work For. One of three organization in Texas to make the list and only one in San Antonio. Brighton ranked #31 overall and #12 in the medium organization category. Medium organizations, those with 50 to 249 employees, accounted for almost half of the 50 Best Nonprofits, with 24 honorees.

“Since the coronavirus pandemic was declared in March, 2020, Brighton has had to make many changes to continue offering services to the children, while creating a work environment to protect employees. To still make the list this year, means a lot. It also means that our employees realize how much we value them.” – Kim Jefferies, CEO

As part of the Best Nonprofit To Work For process, The NonProfit Times works with Harrisburg, Pa.-based Best Companies Group (BCG). Participating nonprofits go through a battery of surveys, including employees, managers and outside vendors. There are 78 questions within eight categories that make up the Employee Benchmark Report (EBR), which compiles the percentage of responses that were “agree somewhat” and agree strongly.”

Brighton Center is honored to have been chosen as a Best Nonprofit To Work For 7 of the last 8 years. Below is a listing of our previous rankings:

2021 – #31 overall/ #12 medium category

It was nothing short of a miracle. Brighton offered affordable services, in home visits, and the friendliest/most knowledgeable therapists. A weight was lifted off our shoulders and we knew we had a team in place who cared for and about Ishan as much as we did.
