New CSRA business provides nonprofit support services

With more than 50 years of combined experience working for nonprofit organizations, mother and daughter, Kaye and Britt Jackson, have teamed up to do what they do best, provide support services for nonprofits.

They opened The Nonprofit Desk last week, to put their experience to work for charities and churches that could use help with everything from administrative support, to bookkeeping, and social communications.

“It was Britt’s idea to collaborate. We enjoy working together so we prayed about it and after becoming incorporated in April, we are now open for business,” explained Kaye Jackson.

Kaye’s husband, Terry, is a retired preacher who still works as a family and marriage counselor. She’s provided admin management experience to many area churches over the years.

Brick-and-mortar location, Britt and Kaye were excited to do an official ribbon-cutting pose for their business.

As co-founder of The Nonprofit Desk, Britt Jackson brings her own impressive set of credentials to the table, or desk, if you will. She has worked on projects big and small and loves building productive teams that produce results for nonprofit missions.

“Sometimes the smaller nonprofits struggle with all that their mission entails. Those are all the services that we can provide which free them to focus on their mission,” said Britt.

In a recent article for ABD, Dr. Simon Medcalfe, Augusta University Economics Professor and regular contributor, highlighted the importance of nonprofits to the CSRA economy.

Nonprofit, 501(c)(3), establishments accounted for 8.1 percent of private employment in the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in 2022. There were 15,193 workers employed by 286 nonprofits in 2022 in the Augusta MSA. This represents a 28 percent increase over the decade at a time when private employment increased 15 percent.

“Nonprofit organizations play an important role in the economy,” Medcalfe said.

The next step for The Nonprofit Desk is working on executive training which will include strategic mapping of the mission, providing a quarterly update for planning goal achievements, and putting a fresh set of eyes on successful mission accomplishments.

Olympic Gold medalist, Michael Phelps is a supporter of the Underwater Hypoxic Blackout Prevention nonprofit for which Britt Jackson serves as Executive Director.

Britt continues to lead as Executive Director for an International nonprofit of which you might not be aware. It’s called Underwater Hypoxic Blackout Prevention. Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps and his coach support the organization which brings awareness to the threat of prolonged or repeated breath-holding while underwater.

“We have built an amazing network and through social media and word of mouth, our goal is to build a support system for nonprofits across the country,” explained Britt.

Every project the Jacksons undertake is a “passion project.” Ultimately, they hope to build a business that serves world changers, change makers, ministers, and nonprofits across the CSRA and beyond in a special way.

Editor’s Note:
Between TV jobs across the country, I worked for 15 years as the Development Director for two nonprofits. The work is rewarding and telling the stories of people you help is memorable, but it is the most challenging job I’ve ever had. My heartfelt wishes to all those who work or support nonprofit organizations and their missions.
