Education & Research
Although the Government provides substantial funding towards Education and Research, in many circumstances this support does not cover the full costs associated with new programmes and initiatives in this field. OKC works with educational organisations including schools, colleges, universities, community educational support projects and research institutions who wish to engage in professional fundraising to ensure their projects reach optimum funding goals. We have also worked with a number of secondary schools and 3rd level institutions on their capital development Campaigns.
Our Clients
“St. Columba's College first engaged the consultancy services of Mary O'Kennedy through her company O'Kennedy Consulting in 2017. Mary's remit was to aid the College in the setting up of our Development Office, a Development Board and thereafter to aid us with the strategic management of a major capital campaign. I would be very happy to recommend the consultancy services of Mary and her company. We have found Mary to be hugely experienced and knowledgeable in all areas of philanthropy and an invaluable source of expertise from which to base our current campaign.”
— Rosie Johnson, Chairperson of Development Board and member of the College Board of Fellows
