Background

About Yael Grunspan

Committed to maximizing organizations’ impact, I have 15 years of experience driving program strategy, legal research and advisement, and management of multimillion-dollar budgets. Along with directing grant application processes and maintaining federal and state funding, I have worked extensively with unions, steering collective bargaining negotiations, arbitration, and relationship building/management for the last eight years. From navigating labor relations to liaising with external stakeholders, such as regulatory bodies and parents/families, my priority remains focused on elevating environments and partnerships to be positive, inclusive, and agile to ultimately improve accessibility of nonprofit programs for all. Collaboration is essential, and I pride myself on my capabilities in swiftly and creatively solving tough challenges that impede organizations’ growth and continued innovation. Throughout my career, I’ve led major transformations of processes, teams, and technology, streamlining cross-team project management, payroll, and grant-making procedures to optimize efficiency. I’ve also headed up largescale projects aimed at enhancing team culture, deploying remote workforces safely and securely, and supporting business and care/service continuity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
