SKC opened its doors to the
nonprofit community in April of 2001, serving charitable organizations
throughout the metropolitan area. SKC's services have proven to
be particularly valuable to grassroots organizations which are heavily
volunteer-driven and characteristically limited in their financial resources,
business acumen and staff expertise.
SKC's start-up capital was provided by several trust funds administered
by the Bank of America. Funding experts recognized that by supporting
a top-notch capacity-building organization like SKC, they could ultimately
reduce their overall allocations to overhead-related expenses and increase their support for charitable good works.
At a time when other enabling organizations have struggled, or even
been forced to discontinue, SKC has grown steadily. Its menu of services
has evolved to meet demand, and it has achieved greater visibility
and stature as a key capacity-building organization in Kansas City.
SKC's board of directors is comprised of representatives from some
of Kansas City's most respected nonprofit organizations, as well
as active community volunteers. This mix assures proper sensitivity to
the blend of services and pricing that can best satisfy the ever-changing
priorities of the nonprofit sector. |
