KIRKLAND, Wash., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Atlas Free, an anti-human trafficking nonprofit and field catalyst working to dismantle the business of exploitation, has been named one of The NonProfit Times’ 2026 Best Nonprofits to Work For, earning a place among the top 50 organizations recognized nationwide.
Now in its 17th year, the Best Nonprofits to Work For program identifies and honors outstanding employers in the nonprofit sector. Rankings are determined through an independent survey administered by Workforce Research Group, in which employees evaluate their organizations across 77 questions in nine categories, including Core Employee Experience, Communication and Workplace Culture, Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion, Training and Professional Development, and Work-Life Balance. NonProfit Times then ranks the nonprofit organizations that have built the most positive, supportive, and engaging workplaces in the sector.
