Welcome to Kernes Consulting

Susan Kernes: nonprofit marketing and fundraising

Kernes Consulting is a practice dedicated to helping nonprofits succeed through strategic marketing and fundraising.   I also advise corporate clients in aligning their giving to achieve business objectives.  I have 30 years’ experience in nonprofit management, public media, fundraising, and, most recently, corporate social responsibility programs.  I am uniquely positioned to advise my clients in approaching corporate grant makers as well as foundations.

I offer the following services for nonprofits:

  • How to approach corporate grant makers
  • Prospecting foundations and other grant makers
  • Effective use of Boards in fundraising
  • Developing your marketing tool kit
  • Grant writing
  • Effective communication

Although my focus is helping nonprofits, I also advise corporate grant makers in developing their giving  focus and overall approach to corporate social responsibility.

For corporate clients:

  • Setting up and managing your corporate social responsibility program
  • Maximizing visibility for your CSR program

Please look around my website to find out what I can do to enhance your marketing, fundraising, and CSR objectives.  I look forward to working with you.
