Charities and non-profits are a vital part of Canadian life. More than many other parts of society they see the needs in our society and act to address them.  Often they are so busy meeting the needs around them that they are unable to focus on public policy which can address needs and/or address their own strategic organizational development and fundraising requirements.

Harry Kits and Associates is able to help you and your organization with the following services:
