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

"Support KC helped us to evaluate a database purchase and decide that the reporting capabilities were not going to work for us. The cost was incredibly low, and it saved us thousand of dollars. Support Kansas City staff helped us to better define what services we needed, and then performed them quickly and efficiently at a cost less than we had anticipated. We will definitely be using them again in the future."

Mark Carr, Bridging the Gap

"Small nonprofits are often balancing the roles of artistic direction and executive direction of the organization, working long hours with erratic income. For aha! dance theatre, having several administrative functions taken over by Support KC has allowed me to attend to the artistic direction more completely, improving the quality of our work. In addition, it has freed up some time for pursuing fundraising; time I have not had before. This change has improved my sense of fulfillment from the work. This is the first year I am not considering resigning in the spring for the next season, due to stress or financial concerns.

"The primary services that Support KC provides for aha! include financial record keeping on Quickbooks; database management of our mailing list, press release list and donor lists; and the mailing out of our press releases. All of these are ongoing tasks being performed in a more efficient and thorough way than our organization could manage, due to the skills, experience and software that Support KC provides. In addition, SKC staff are available to meet with board committees to improve our marketing materials and our fundraising appeals."

Susan Rieger, aha! dance theater

"Support Kansas City understands nonprofit's unique financial structures and their reliable reporting provides a sense of comfort to our board of directors."
