OKC is a values-led, impact driven consultancy providing fund development and philanthropy services to and about the not-for-profit sector, and has been working across the sector to enable social impact since 2002. Led by Mary O’Kennedy, the OKC team brings over 20 years of experience, extensive knowledge of the Irish charity, philanthropic and corporate environments, and a network of connections from across Ireland and beyond. Our OKC Associates add specialised knowledge in various complementary fields, including Digital, Sustainability/ESG and Social Impact Investing. Internationally, we connect with civil society consultants through EU Consult, the European Association of Consultants to and about the not-for-profit sector. "We didn't fully know what to expect when we sat down with Mary and Sabrina from OKC, we wanted to diversify and grow our funding model whilst also getting a better understanding of the wider philanthropic landscape in Ireland. What we got was so much more, every session was warm and positive, Mary and Sabrina completely bought into our project and invested their time and more importantly passion into making our plan a success. They went far beyond their remit to ensure we were best placed to meet the funding needs of the organisation, streamlining that process to ensure we can continue to focus on the young people. This is more than a job to the team in OKC and we enjoyed every minute of working with them." - Jonathon Doyle, Chief Executive Officer, Citywise Education “OKC has advised the Vodafone Foundation in undertaking evaluations on past and existing charitable projects over a number of years. The experience has been truly professional... Always a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with OKC again in the near future.” - Natalie Hodgess, Vodafone Foundation Ireland
