Client Testimonials

What our clients are saying about Support Kansas City

The best testimonial to SKC's importance may lie in the number and variety of nonprofit groups which have come to rely on the organization for support. SKC has formed partnerships with many "household name" nonprofits, along with start-ups whose very survival has depended on the availability of low-cost, specialized help.

"For the past year the Youth Symphony of Kansas City has been working with Support Kansas City. SKC is a nonprofit organization that provides database management and financial services to the nonprofit community. For the Youth Symphony, SKC keeps records of 400 accounts for individual Youth Symphony musicians, each of which has six to ten entries per year, and generates collections letters for amounts owed. Additionally, SKC keeps a record of all contributions and generates thank-you notes for each contribution. SKC keeps all financial records for the Youth Symphony, provides monthly financial statements for our board meetings and provides accounting records for our annual financial audit.

"I enthusiastically recommend that any nonprofit organization consider engaging Support Kansas City to provide database and financial functions. The SKC staff are professionals with a depth of understanding of nonprofit management issues. They provide services that are professional, reliable and timely. SKC provides continuity so that you do not have to look for and train staff in the areas where they are experts. With SKC you can transfer the burden of support functions to them, freeing your time to pursue your organization's mission.

"Additionally, they are very nice people to work with! The staff at SKC are committed to the nonprofit world and know the issues that confront nonprofit organizations."

Mary Corneil, Youth Symphony of Kansas City

"Our challenge was to turn the board's strategic plan into detailed and measurable action plans for staff. The staff at Support Kansas City steered us easily along that road. Theyhelped us develop a strategic map that framed the strategic plan clearly and concisely.  And from that map, they worked with us to identify reasonable and measurable operational goals and objectives. The whole process was easy, quick and economical- exactly the type of service that a small not-for-profit needed."

"Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City has undergone some major changes including two mergers, leadership reorganization, the implementation of a comprehensive development plan, strategic and operational planning, a marketing initiative, and a complete financial management and budgeting transition. We are truly indebted to the staff at Support Kansas City. Their expertise in guiding us through the infrastructure and financial transitions were imperative in supporting our growth. Their initial support in database management and development planning helped set the stage for the success we experienced fundraising. This led to the need to gain better financials controls and to expand our financial tracking capabilities for good management oversight and grant reporting. Support Kansas City plays a vital role in strenghtening nonprofits in Kansas City."
