Presenter:
Mr. Paul Mastrodonato - Nonprofit Works
Paul has spent the last 30 years working for and with nonprofit organizations of all sizes, including eight years as the executive director of a workforce development agency for lower-income and unemployed men and women.
Through that experience, he recognized the many and varied services that nonprofit organizations need but don’t always have the resources to undertake. As a result, in 1999, Paul established Nonprofit Works, a New York-based consulting firm that specializes in training nonprofits and municipalities in fund development, strategic planning, board training, and communications. He regularly trains organizations and professional associations on related topics and is known for a presentation style that is practical, interactive, relaxed, and fun.
Paul has served as Vice President of Professional Development for the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and as Chairperson of AFP’s National Philanthropy Day. He currently serves on the boards and committees of several nonprofit organizations. He holds a master’s degree in public administration focusing on organizational management from the State University of New York at Brockport.
