As a company are you a bit afraid of what is happening with your charity money? Do you know what to do with your fiduciary responsibility? Have you ever wondered if your fundraising activities are enough and if your company can support such fundraising? Nonprofits are very important for the community as we have seen in a previous post that many of them help people directly and with a lot of good energy. But, do they know about management and how to achieve good results using marketing and advertising? It doesn’t matter what size your company is or what the goal of your charity is, Nonprofit Kinect helps these institutions reach their goals and operate with more efficiency and have better corporate practices so they can operate at a high level in each and every area within the organization.
Let’s take a look at their services in a business to business settings and how they are helping other organizations achieve their charity goals.
Kinect is focused on helping people who help others. It is more or less like the saying “ help me help you” because they place all their efforts on making nonprofits sustainable and efficient. Even though the help and the services that charities offer are very amazing, they do not know how to manage a company so it can last in time and there is where Kinect comes to play.
Their mission is to give amazing leadership tools and resources so charity leaders and members can reach very good decisions that make the company or organization grow and be more sustainable. To follow and achieve this mission statement they use the following values that go along on all their activities they carry out: Integrity, superior leadership, transparency creativity, innovation and ingenuity, bold strategic thinking, critical thinking, research, knowledge and continuous improvement.
Nonprofit Kinect uses three areas where they help organizations and companies:
- Board of directors involvement. Kinect looks to engage the board of directors towards the charity activities to ensure a well-informed board that can take the organization to a level of success.
- Skill acquirement: Kinect makes organizations strive for success by developing core skills, management activities, marketing and advertising strategies and systems that will take the organization to be more sustainable.
