Who does fundraising in your non-profit organization?
The most successful organizations know that philanthropy is everyone's responsibility.

When you step back into the office in January, consider that 2026 could be the year your entire organization embraces philanthropy.

We’re celebrating an incredible milestone - 9 years with ViTreo for our Research Lead, Ken Kempcke!

Those brilliant white papers? That's Ken. The insightful research that adds incredible value to every client project (IYKYK)? That's Ken. He's the driving force behind ViTreo’s research practice.
