COLLABORATING WITH

Government

Improving your connection with communities.

Our Impact » Government

We collaborate with the public sector to build a stronger relationship between governments, nonprofits, and the communities they serve.

CNM amplifies the voice of the region’s 12,000+ nonprofit organizations and collaborates with local governments to improve social service contracting outcomes. Helping nonprofits leverage ARPA funding opportunities, coordinating with LADWP on special grant programs, or training First 5 California’s grantees are just some of the ways CNM serves as a conduit between local government initiatives and the nonprofit sector.

Let’s work together to amplify your impact.
