A strong, longstanding commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is central to KeyBank’s culture and purpose of helping the communities it serves thrive. Now, KeyBank is expanding and growing its efforts even further outside of its organization across the country.
Recently, KeyBank launched a partnership with Resilia, a social enterprise leveraging technology designed specifically for nonprofits to build economic equity for BIPOC -led and serving grassroots nonprofitorganizations throughout the United States. The collaboration builds capacity for 25 nonprofit organizations, including board development, identifying and organizing fundraising plans, and growing and building non-profit organizations.
"At KeyBank, our purpose is to help our clients and communities thrive. The best example of a thriving community is one in which its nonprofit network has strong leadership, direction and operations, we are pleased to provide our nonprofit partners with expert capacity-building coaching, access to templates, and on-demand courses through Resilia’s capacity-building technology,” said Shanelle Smith Whigham, Senior Vice President and Director, KeyBank Community Relations and Corporate Initiatives.
For the inaugural 12-month pilot program, KeyBank and Resilia chose 25 nonprofits across the United States to receive help with organizational capacity through on-demand access to expert coaching, professional development courses, budgeting assistance, board management, fundraising tools, systems and operations, people operations, program management, storytelling and marketing, legal and compliance, and strategic planning – all leveraging technology built just for nonprofits in order to help them expand their impact. Participating organizations include:
“Resilia is excited to partner with KeyBank to support BIPOC-led grassroots organizations nationwide,” said Sevetri Wilson, Resilia Founder and CEO. “We are confident that this collaboration will help advance economic and racial equity, creating a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and communities across the country."
