Message from the Interim Executive Director |
Dear Colleagues,
Today, more than ever, The Nonprofit Alliance of Monterey County is dedicated to supporting your mission journey. As wildflowers emerge on every hillside and in our gardens, our calendars remind us that Spring officially begins on March 20. As the new season approaches, we see that as the most acute challenges of the pandemic seem to fade, new and different threats emerge. Holding space in our hearts, for all children and families impacted by war, our work goes on -- inspired by the bravery and resilience of the people of Ukraine.
We deeply appreciate everyone who participated in our most recent workshop – featuring Ken Peterson on the art, the craft, and the magic of telling stories that move your mission! You’ll find more details and a link to the full video below. Please read on for information on more resources, training, mixers, reports, and special events. Meanwhile, always, let me know what you need and how you would like to get more involved!

About Laura Harris, Grant Writing Consultant
As a previous nonprofit director, Laura experienced first-hand the overwhelm and difficulties of the grant writing process, so she developed a proven strategy to develop a steady flow of high-value grant funding. For the past ten years, she has helped her clients build their success rates to 65% and above (vs. the industry average of 10-30%) – resulting in many millions of dollars in grant awards for our Monterey County community. Laura’s approach is teaching and guiding others through the process, so you can further increase your capacity to raise additional funds.

About Paulette Lynch, Executive Director of Nonprofit Alliance of Monterey County
Paulette has been successfully writing grant applications to local and statewide funders for nonprofit organizations since 1990. As Executive Director of the Arts Council for Monterey County from 2004 to 2019, she also administered a grant program supporting a wide range of art projects and programs throughout the region. Over the years, Paulette has helped dozens of nonprofit leaders gain greater success by more accurately depicting their strategic alignment with funder goals and more fully showcasing their value, impact, and potential.
