The Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance exists primarily for the benefit of its member nonprofits.  However, we also understand the value of providing start-up support to those individuals with charitable ideas on how to bring value to this community and the people living in it.  If you are trying to carry your idea to the next level and think that becoming a nonprofit might be the solution, we would like to assist you! We offer free 15-minute phone consultations for non-members within our service area (Greater Ottawa County) and face-to-face consultations for members. Please see our Membership Page to learn more about Individual Memberships. Please Contact Us to schedule an initial consultation.
