  Joey Kerns, Consultant

  Jan 2014 - Dec 2014

  Non-Profit Consultant

  Workplace Giving Campaigns:Many workplaces provide their employees an opportunity to donate via payroll deductions to charities. This is typically done through Workplace Giving Campaigns (also called Employee Giving Campaigns). Through campaigns at these workplaces, organizations get exposure to these employees at tabling events, during presentations, and other opportunities. Although many nonprofits are eligible to participate in Workplace Giving Campaigns, navigating through the process of inclusion and then determining how to maximize your donations can be tricky. However, once in, it often doesn't take much effort to increase donations.I have 12 years experience with nonprofits and six years experience managing workplace giving campaigns at the fund/federation level. I can offer a two-hour training where I will teach you about the entire process including the differences between a fund/federation model and an open campaign model and best practices. Additionally, I can provide more in-depth services by analyzing your organization, assisting in the application process for approval in multiple workplaces, and recommend and implement best practices to maximize your employee giving designations. Board Development: Recruiting and Training for Small Nonprofits:An organization functions better with the appropriate mix of people serving on the Board of Directors who are all well informed about the organization’s mission and dedicated to accomplishing it. I can meet with your Board leadership and Executive Director to determine how Board Development is currently occurring and then critique current practices. How to Run Effective Board Meetings:The decisions made at Board of Director meetings affect the entire organization. Therefore, an efficient and effective Board meeting not only enhances the Board of Directors’ volunteer experience, but it also creates clear and concise directives. https://www.facebook.com/JoeyKernsConsulting Show less
