About the Presenters:
Cynthia Adams is President and CEO of Grantstation. She has spent the past 40 years helping nonprofit organizations raise the money needed to do their good work. Many of her early efforts centered on raising funds to set aside wilderness areas in Alaska. In 1990 she started her first company, the Alaska Funding Exchange. This endeavor served as the testing ground for a national company, GrantStation, which opened its Internet doors in the fall of 2001. Cindy built this business because she believes that grantseeking requires a thorough understanding of the variety and scope of grantmakers and sound knowledge of the philanthropic playing field. Her life’s work has been to level that playing field, creating an opportunity for all nonprofit organizations to access the wealth of grant opportunities across the U.S. and throughout the world.
Monique Hanson joined NPR in October 2012 in the role of Chief Development Officer. In this capacity, she leads NPR’s fundraising programs including major and planned giving, and foundation grants, which taken together are the company’s third- largest source of revenue. A development professional with more than two decades of experience, Hanson came to NPR after serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer for YMCA of the USA, one of the largest social service non-profits in the country. Prior to her work with the YMCA, Hanson served in leadership positions for the Alzheimer’s Association and other educational and cultural organizations.
