Happy New Year from KEA Canada!
With the rush of the holidays and year-end activities coming to an end, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate 2018 and look forward to 2019.
2018 was a year of transition, developing new ideas, and capacity-building. We marked 5 years in business, and supported our clients in their successes. A huge THANK YOU to friends, colleagues, cheerleaders and clients who came with us on the journey of 2018. Developing your capacity, philanthropic culture-building, making a difference is a team sport, and we feel so honoured to be playing our part in making our sector, our communities, our country even better.
As we say goodbye to 2018, we are so excited to embrace the coming year with new energy, new partnerships, new support that will build on our ability to support our clients and their dreams.
In 2019, we are excited to continue to offer our core services for nonprofits and the amazing leaders, volunteers and staff who make them successful, and for philanthropists who want to translate their success into significance. We have also augmented our research capacity, philanthropic advising program, and communications support. Learn more about our 2019 offerings below and contact Kathy (Kathy@keacanada.com) to begin a conversation.
Please accept our deepest gratitude to all of you for being with us on this journey. Whether you are a past client, future partner, or steadfast supporter, we are honoured that you continue to stay engaged with KEA Canada. We do this work for you and with you, and thank you for your work in making our world a better place.
Warmest wishes,
Kathy
New for 2019
Research and Writing
Powerful, customized research for nonprofits and for philanthropists. We work with a powerful research database to identify potential granting sources and suggested ask amounts. Support can range from a one-time report, to grant writing on your behalf.
Philanthropic Advising
We assist clients in developing their philanthropic plan. It is difficult to navigate the charity landscape well. We can help you and your family develop your unique approach and research potential grantees to help you find organizations that align with your values and goals.
