What can KS Solutions do for you?

-
We don’t just consult… we do the work for you to clear your plate for all of your other tasks and responsibilities. Trust us to get it done.
The focus areas of KS Solutions are Civic Engagement and Resource Development.

Civic Engagement
Engaging people in your cause by getting them interested and taking action through volunteer management, outreach and marketing (including use of social media and other helpful technology), public events, and training/workshops for staff and volunteers.

Resource Development
Gathering resources to support your cause through partnership development, grant writing and research, providing information on other initiatives that will support yours, developing innovative fundraising ideas, training/workshops for staff and board.

Some examples of how we can help:
  • Recruit, train, manage volunteers for you and/or teach you best practices including innovative ways to get the most from community and business volunteers
  • Research grant opportunities for you and/or write grant proposals
  • Make and implement an outreach plan - write your e-newsletter, manage your Twitter or Facebook accounts, help grow your email list, write press releases develop innovative and effective outreach methods for your cause
  • Help plan an event - fundraise, coordinate vendors, market the event, manage volunteers
  • Offer training and group facilitation on volunteer management, resource development and outreach/marketing.
  • Lead meetings and facilitate group discussions between partners and potential partners working for similar causes.
On the new KS Solutions website (coming soon) there will be a list of current and past clients and a description of their projects to give you more ideas of how we can work together.

Happy Feet

“Those shoes are cute! They look comfortable too!”  I hear that often. Well, it is not a coincidence. We all work hard. We need to be comfortable and like how we look. Happy feet make for a much better day. Check out my recommendations -- this is my Valentine to you. After getting plantar fasciitis (foot pain issues) a few years ago, my podiatrist suggested better shoes. He twisted the shoe I was wearing like ringing out a wet rag to demonstrate the lack of support. It was painful (literally and figuratively),but I went home and started to throw out a closet full of shoes. Then started on the hunt for cute and comfortable options. Not an easy combo to find! With some trial and error I found a few brands that I really like (shared below).  How to Choose Shoes for Common Foot Problems Here’s to happy feet!

To help you (and me), below is a list of articles with helpful advice on how to address the pain people are experiencing, as well as how to lead in supporting racial justice. Whatever your race, this is a very important time to be a strong leader.  Realistically, for white leadership, there is much more work to do. There i s no set best appr oach.
