About

Mary Alex provides both domestic and international consulting services for program planning and development, interim executive leadership, capacity building, organizational development, resource generation (through the use of all types of development campaigns), media, and communication strategies. For NGOs, Ms. Alex conducts website strategy and enterprise development tactics by isolating new streams of funding.

Ms. Alex has many other areas of expertise, including working with women of “new wealth” around the formation of donor circles, launching and reigniting capital campaigns, boosting major gifts programs, and Board development. She focuses on helping nonprofits and NGOs fundraise from the Diaspora (grouped mainly from their country of origin) by isolating the communities where most reside. Then, she generates media and donors in those areas. She has worked with such organizations as Women’s Community Free Clinic, the YWCA of Sonoma County, and Miriam’s House of Lynchburg, Virginia. Prior to communications and development, Ms. Alex was involved in the Broadcast Journalism field. She was a co-producer for both KCBS All-News radio and the local NPR (KQED) in San Francisco.
