Cynthia M. Adams

Cynthia Adams has been dedicated to helping nonprofit organizations identify and secure the funding they need to do their good work for well over 45 years. Cynthia founded GrantStation because she believes that grantseeking requires a thorough understanding of the funders and sound knowledge of the philanthropic playing field. Her life's work has been to level that playing field and create opportunities for all nonprofit organizations, regardless of size or geographic location, to secure grant support.

Cynthia serves on the Board of Directors of the Social Enterprise Alliance, an organization that strives to place the interests of people and the planet above shareholder gain. She also gives back to her community, serving on the Advisory Board for the Northern Alaska Environmental Center and also doing volunteer work for numerous nonprofits, many of whom serve to protect Alaska's environment.
