Washington, D.C., April 4, 2022 – ZERO Prostate Cancer is proud to have ranked seventh in the Best Nonprofits To Work For list, a ranking released annually by the NonProfit Times. This is the eighth time ZERO has been included in the top 50 and its fourth time in the top ten. 

“We’re thrilled to be ranked as one of the best nonprofits to work for again this year,” said ZERO’s President & CEO Jamie Bearse. “This recognition is a testament to our dedicated team, whose passion for working on behalf of men battling prostate cancer is unrivaled. Every day ZERO and our advocates are making strides in our mission to end prostate cancer, increasing research funding, and providing critical patient support.” 

This year’s top nonprofits separated themselves from the rest in the areas of culture and communication, compensation and benefits, and leadership. In the area of leadership, longevity has been a key component in making the list over the years. ZERO’s CEO Jamie Bearse has held the role for nine years, and has been with the organization for more than 20 years. His leadership and dedication to ZERO’s mission have been vital in ensuring a culture in which employees feel supported and challenged all while working toward a shared goal.

The NonProfitTimes is a leading business publication for nonprofit management. To compile the annual list, employees and employers participated in a battery of surveys, with results scored across eight different categories and ultimately ranking the top 50 Best Nonprofits To Work For. Best Nonprofits are categorized by size: small (15-49 employees), medium (50 to 249) and large (250 or more). Of the 50 organizations on this year’s list, the top nine organizations overall are in the small category, including ZERO with 46 employees.

“Since joining ZERO, I’ve become more confident in my programming skills and in turn have become more confident voicing my opinions and ideas,” said Nicole Abbott, ZERO’s Coordinator of Patient Programs & Education. “ZERO has helped me grow in tremendous ways that not only affect my work life but my personal life as well. I have learned to value my strengths and my weaknesses and that is only going to help me strive and continue growing.”

ZERO’s high responsibility and high freedom philosophy helps team members excel professionally and thrive personally while making a life-saving difference for those impacted by prostate cancer. Working at ZERO means more than a job, it means being part of an incredible community of people that inspires each other every day.
