The Nonprofit Sector Fund (NSF) has helped Meyer become a national leader in promoting organizational effectiveness and leadership development.
As part of Meyer's Rewarding Leadership initiative, a large number of the NSF's grants focus on supporting and sustaining nonprofit executive directors. Meyer management assistance grants allow organizations to hire consultants to help them navigate key organizational transitions. These grants also support marketing, communications, and fundraising planning; improvements in accounting and financial management; and executive transition.
