Gregory Cohen created this website to share resources he has identified for his organizational development, career counseling and training work.  The pages Everything But Money: Fundraising For Nonprofit Ventures and Ethics For Nonprofits also supplement Greg's other trainings through Cause Effective and elsewhere.  Those job hunting in the nonprofit sector may find useful resources on the Greg Cohen's Nonprofit Job Search Resources page.

 

Greg advises a wide variety of nonprofit organizations through a new nonprofit, Philanthropy Leaders and, for 13 years, as Associate Director at Cause Effective. He trained and coached a wide variety of groups with a concentration in social justice, community development, arts and immigrant communities.  They included the Asian American Federation, Arab-American Association of NY, Ali Forney Center, A Call To Men, Coro, Afropop Worldwide, St Nicks Alliance, Bridge Street Development, Cave Canem, Chinese-American Planning Council, Communilife, Elmcor, Minkwon, Kundiman, Just Food, NICE, Sadie Nash, Staten Island Museum, TDF and Women for Afghan Women. He has driven the creation of 11 start-up nonprofits.  He is currently an active board member of Hands on Sierra Leone and People In Need.   In 2018, he traveled to China to speak on American nonprofits as a guest of the government of Shenzhen at their annual Asian NGO conference and at an ASEAN conference in Nanning.

 

Greg was the founder of Comprehensive Youth Development, a nonprofit associated with Manhattan Comprehensive Night & Day High School. CYD provides supports to 800 students a year, using over 200 volunteers. He left CYD, which had a budget of $1 million, nearly all from private sources, and a staff of 25, with a new multiyear contract for $1.2 million annually with the NYC Department of Education, in part a result of a 15 site replication throughout New York of the CDI-school partnership. This partnership has been the focus of a front page story in the New York Times and a special edition of PBS' NOW With Bill Moyers.

 

Previously, Greg was an advisor on organizational advancement to NPOKI, a collaboration of global health organizations which seek a shared outcome management system and InsideNGO, now Humentum, the association of operations staff of US-based NGOs. He ran the housing development program at the New York Urban Coalition for 13 years, where he created over 270 units of  housing financed by over $27 million.  These projects included permanent housing for survivors of domestic violence and CATCH a nonprofit which converts foreclosed apartments into tenant cooperatives.

 

Greg is a certified trainer in nonprofit ethics by the Institute for Global Ethics.  He also advised the Institute on their plan to expand to schools nationwide.   He has been a Guest Instructor on "Fundraising For New Nonprofit Ventures" at NYU’s Wagner Graduate School of Public Service since 2000. 

 

He served on the board of the Nonprofit New York (NPCC) for 20 years and was a participant in Coro's Leadership NY 2. He holds a BA from Union College. He lives with his wife and, to his delight, close to two adult daughters in Brooklyn.
