The Keel Foundation

As we developed our business plan for 2006 one commitment that we felt important was to use our skills and experience to help.  The opportunities seem endless; needs appear everywhere.

Working on various forms of mission directly and supporting others with resources, we’ve found that it is not the particular size of the commitment that matters but rather that we with the time given do what we can.  Our blessings are many and doing our best is what matters.

This will be the focus of The Keel Foundation: We will apply our demand generation solutions developed in the for profit market to the non-profit sector.  We believe the limit is unknown and we will do our best to find it. 

Thank you ahead of time for your prayers and support. – Rich Scorza
