ABOUT Kel Haney
Kel Haney is an NYC & Maine-based fundraising expert with 15 years of experience in the field, specializing in Outbound Fundraising. She's a Senior Consultant at Donorly, an NYC-based fundraising consulting firm that specializes in helping small/medium size non-profits grow beyond their size.
Her work boils down to “taking the ick out of the ask." She believes that we can create fundraising conversations that are relationship-building opportunities, as opposed to transactional encounters.
Kel's worked with such companies as MCC Theatre, Signature Theatre, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Manhattan Theatre Club, The O’Neill Theater Center, New York Theatre Workshop, Page 73 Productions, BroadwayUnlocked, The Glimmerglass Festival, and Paul Taylor Dance Company.
She spent twenty years as a theater director and her fundraising methodology is based on how she led a rehearsal room: focusing on what makes each of us unique and engaging.
Kel empowers artists, art administrators, & board members with the knowledge that they already possess the most critical tools needed to be skilled fundraisers (empathy, candor, vulnerability, enthusiasm, and storytelling).
Over her 16 year fundraising career, Kel has helped arts organizations raise over $10M, primarily in donations under $1.5K.
