We support nonprofits’ organizational capacity with an individualized approach that includes Organizational Effectiveness grants, training, technical assistance, and coaching. Organizational Effectiveness grants address needs ranging from fundraising and strategic planning to communications, governance, organizational culture, and infrastructure. We also conduct a periodic Status of the Nonprofit Sector study to inform grantmaking priorities, identify gaps in resources and capacity, and guide how we support West Marin’s nonprofit ecosystem.
Strengthening the nonprofits that help West Marin thrive.
Nonprofits play a critical role in supporting West Marin’s communities. They fill gaps in essential services and work across sectors to help our rural communities thrive. Our Organizational Effectiveness programs help local nonprofits strengthen their operations and build the capacity to adapt to challenges, fulfill their missions, and continue serving the communities that rely on them.
How We Work

We’re proud to partner with nonprofits across West Marin that enrich local life. Recently, Organizational Effectiveness grants helped In Place Learning develop an organizational roadmap for fundraising, outreach, and marketing, and supported The New School at Commonweal in advancing its communications work with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and community engagement. We encourage you to learn more about the many nonprofits serving West Marin.
