The team is headed by Mary O' Kennedy who has over 12 years' experience of both fundraising for and consulting to, the not-for-profit sector. Mary and her team offer a hands-on approach and have combined experience of over 20 years in fundraising management and consultancy.

At O' Kennedy Consulting we advise clients across the following sectors:

Not-for-profit organisations - we work with charities that wish to develop their fundraising, formulate a long term strategy and attract philanthropic support.

Businesses - we work with corporate organisations to create and deliver bespoke Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies and on-going policies for aligning a charitable benefit with a business goal. We also provide a service of evaluating the on-going impact of a corporate giving policy allowing a business to measure its success in the same way they measure other indicators of business performance.

Individual and Family Portfolios, & Foundations - we work with families and individuals to advise on their philanthropic priorities and collate a suitable portfolio of charitable partners, while managing and evaluating the progressive relationship with the charity beneficiaries.
