Courtney Noble is passionate about helping communities turn good ideas and resources into lasting change. As Grants & Community Impact Manager, Courtney brings more than 15 years of experience in philanthropy, nonprofit strategy, grantmaking, and program evaluation to support Spur’s efforts to strengthen the Wood River Valley.

Before joining Spur, Courtney worked as an independent consultant advising nonprofit, governmental, and philanthropic organizations on strategy, program effectiveness, grantmaking, and data-informed decision-making. Her work has included designing evaluation frameworks, developing data dashboards, assessing program effectiveness, leading grant procurement, and helping organizations use research and data to make more informed decisions. Her substantive work has focused particularly on homelessness, affordable housing, youth development, and child welfare.

Prior to consulting, Courtney spent eight years at the United Way of King County, where she managed a $10.8 million annual housing stability portfolio, led competitive grantmaking and evaluation efforts, and brought public and private partners together to address homelessness and financial insecurity. She also led county-wide poverty alleviation programs and worked closely with community-based organizations, government agencies, advocates, and philanthropic partners to develop and strengthen programs serving people experiencing poverty and housing instability.

Courtney began her career as an attorney, advising businesses and nonprofit organizations on corporate governance. She holds a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from New York University School of Law.
