Contrary to the vital role they play in our community, most of our area nonprofits do not have the tools and resources they need to be successful. Donors often give to an organization’s mission focus and not to “overhead,” which includes staff development and strengthening organization infrastructure in areas such as technology, human resources, marketing, etc. The Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance exists to help fill gaps in those areas by providing nonprofits the support they need to develop staff and instill best practices within their organization.

If the Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance is successful in achieving its mission by helping our collective nonprofit community achieve their missions, then our vision for the nonprofit sector will become reality.
