We guide nonprofit organizations in achieving their goals with support and expert resources.

Since 1996, our organization has strived to provide solutions, service and support for nonprofit organizations throughout the Central Coast. Spokes is inspired by a vision of a united and effective nonprofit sector powered by proficient leaders.


Our community counts on nonprofits. Nonprofits count on Spokes.

Local nonprofits meet many needs. Whether supporting people, activities, animals or environment, these organizations serve our community. They bring the passion, knowledge and experience of their staff, board of directors, volunteers and supporters together. And to make the most of these valuable assets, they come to Spokes.

We offer training, consulting and resources. We work with nonprofit management, staff and leadership.

Spokes is here to support nonprofit organizations. We show them how to make efforts and finances go further. We help focus passion, magnify effectiveness, and amplify results.

We don’t just help nonprofits, we are a nonprofit. Our work is supported by contributions from a generous community, membership and program fees, and gracious volunteers. Every dollar and volunteer hour donated to support Spokes helps hundreds of local nonprofits operate more efficiently.

Like spokes in a wheel, we work with other nonprofits as they connect with the people and causes in their community. We help them stay true, move forward, navigate the bumps, and maintain momentum.

We’re Spokes. And we’re on a roll.

Member Testimonial

Spokes help has been transformative for the Garden in many areas, ranging from budgets, operations, policies and procedures, and long-term vision, just to name a few. The impact of SPOKES has been HUGE, and having a Spokes interim Executive Director was lifesaving. Personally, Spokes has made my work at the Garden so much more organized, less stressful , and hopeful for future success.”
