History
Gray Matters was founded in 2000 by the late Larry Levine and George Adams who understood that not-for-profit organizations in the New York City metropolitan area could benefit from experienced advice. They also recognized a capacity and desire among colleagues and friends to devote more time to social and community activism. This led them to ask: How do you harness the talents of these professionals and match them with the needs of particular not-for-profit organizations? The answer was Gray Matters.
