Ear Community NAMED “2023 TOP-RATED NONPROFIT” by GreatNonprofits

Award based on Community Recommendations

Broomfield, CO November 20, 2023 –Ear Community announced today it has been named a “2023 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading website for community recommendations of charities and nonprofits.

Ear Community serves the Microtia and Aural Atresia Community by providing education and promoting awareness across the United States and in other countries, resulting in bringing our community together through organized events, donating bone anchored hearing devices to those in need, awarding college scholarships, genetic research and advocating for what our community needs, including legislation and advocacy.

“We are honored to be named a 2023 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says Melissa Tumblin, Founder and Executive Director of Ear Community. We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including donating (7) bone anchored hearing devices alone, hosting (9) events, awarding (1) college scholarship and championing Ally’s Act, H.R. 2439/S. 1135 – a National level bill that would ensure private insurance coverage for every state helping children and adults have better access to bone anchored hearing aids and cochlear implant from birth to age 64, including the services, surgeries and maintenance that go along with having these implantable hearing device systems.

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that Ear Community received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients. “It is an amazing organization run by an incredible human (Melissa Tumblin), who is devoting her life to children and adults born with Microtia as well as hearing loss. Her organization plays a major role in helping families with new information and connecting them with each other. Ear Community is a shining example of an organization that goes above and beyond to transform the lives of children born without ears and those facing hearing loss. Their innovative approach, compassionate team, and unwavering dedication to empowering children are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend supporting this non-profit organization, as they are making a significant difference in the lives of these extraordinary children and their families”. – Dr. Youssef Tahiri, Beverly Hills, California (7/2023).

“Ear Community 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 Ear Community”.
