Grant Writing & Funding

Gregory joins us to share his expertise on nonprofit leadership and governance, breaking down the essential habits every board member should develop to effectively support an organization’s mission. He discusses how to communicate clearly with board members, properly onboard new members, and create a strong foundation for engagement and accountability.

We also explore practical ways to teach board members what good governance looks like, how bringing in consultants can help reinforce key messages, and strategies to ensure board members stay actively involved and committed to their roles.

He is BoardSource Certified in Nonprofit Board Consulting and has helped hundreds of organizations strengthen their leadership and impact. As former CEO of the Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNPE), he expanded services to support over 500 nonprofits and launched key leadership development programs for executives.

With a background spanning the nonprofit, corporate, and public sectors—including roles as Executive Director of Green Hill Therapy and Vice President at Bank of America—Gregory brings a well-rounded perspective to his work. He is also a military veteran and former attorney in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, and holds degrees from the University of Notre Dame and Notre Dame Law School.
