MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
The mission of the Management Assistance Program (MAP) is to improve and expand access to organizational capacity-building resources for non-profit organizations in Monterey County.
MAP began in 1996 after an extensive needs assessment involving non-profit staff, Board members, volunteers, and professionals in nonprofit organizational development in the region. It was initially supported by a five-year grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and was integrated into the core programs of the Community Foundation for Monterey County in 2002.
Senior Program Officer Jeff Bryant leads a workshop on Community Involvement in Program Design.

Materials are available for on-site use. Smaller collections are also available at the Salinas and Seaside public libraries.
The Community Foundation Nonprofit Resource Library is a Cooperating Collection of the
Foundation Center. As such, we provide a core collection of Foundation Center publications and a variety of supplementary materials and services in areas useful to grantseekers. These materials include the Foundation Center's directory of funders online.. Classes on how to use this directory are scheduled periodically. A personal computer is available on-site to use this tool and to conduct internet searches. The Library also features the Grantmaker's Survey, a booklet produced by the Community Foundation for Monterey County with brief descriptions of local private funders. A VCR is available to review videos.
Workshop participants discuss and brainstorm ideas.
MAP trainings seek to strengthen organizations by building the skills and talents of their Board members, staff, and volunteers, and to expand the talent pool available to nonprofit organizations in our region. Workshops cover a wide variety of topics with a focus on Management , Fund Development, and Board Development. Special in-depth training programs, such as an intensive course in fundraising skills, grassroots leadership or business development are arranged as the need arises.
