Why did keen collab with Philanthropic Matchmaker?
We chose to work with a Philanthropic Matchmaker to forge meaningful partnerships that resonate with our core mission: Care for Self ~ Care for others. Alignment was key because we wanted to support in more ways than just financially. We craved a commitment to community-building. Our aim is to empower non-profit founders with essential resources, exposure, and genuine support to make a tangible impact on those in need.
MATCHMAKING IN ACTION
can you give insight into the process, vetting, and presentation provided?
Lindsey's commitment to my vision was nothing short of extraordinary. In our initial meetings, she delved into our core values, which made me feel heard and understood. With precision and dedication, she initiated the research and interviewing phase, saving me invaluable time and connecting to my company’s mission. Our final presentation was a revelation, offering profound insights and a robust vetting process. It illuminated the organizations that didn't align and provided a heartwarming connection to the top 3 choices. Tears welled in my eyes as I discovered these female-led nonprofits, resonating profoundly with my "why."
What was the outcome for keen and the overall impact on the world?
Lindsey's work exceeded all expectations, leading us to partnering with not one, but two non-profits. The alignment with keen was unmatched, and the synergy felt undeniable.
With the launch of keen cares, the response from our community was nothing short of incredible. As a business owner, it is a deeply gratifying experience to use our platform for good, assuring our clients that their hard-earned dollars were making a meaningful impact.
What were the benefits of working with us vs DIY-ing your SOCIAL IMPACT INITIATIVE?
As emphasized earlier, our priority was authentic, meaningful giving as a company. We refused to be in the dark about where our donations went or their impact on the community. This was not merely a tax benefit; it was a dedicated pledge to make the world better, driven by sustainability and the creation of keen cares.
keen, a non-toxic, waterless nail studio on a mission to encourage others to take better care of themselves & those around them.
Our team collaborated with keen to build out their new give forward initiative 'KEEN CARES'. We sat down with Sam Moss (Founder & CEO), to ask her a few questions about keen's experience.
