Meet the Staff: Keena Carson

We’re excited to announce the addition of Keena Carson to our Marketing staff! Keena’s new role as Sales and Marketing Assistant includes creating content for our website and social media outlets. She will also work with FNG regional sales representatives throughout the country to coordinate logistics and marketing for upcoming conferences and other company events.

Keena brings with her several years of writing and marketing experience.. “I want to learn more about the insurance industry so that I can help to better serve FNG’s members. With my skills in marketing communication, I hope to create new and innovative ways to better engage with members of nonprofit, governmental and Tribal enterprise communities on social media and ensure that all of their questions and concerns are answered,” she says.

A child of a military family, Keena was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, but spent her youth in different international communities. She has lived in several cities in both the United States and in Europe but now calls Chicago home. She moved from Newport News, Virginia to Chicago in 2012 to attend Columbia College Chicago where she studied Marketing Communication.

Keena is no stranger to the nonprofit world. She currently serves on the Board of Directors at M.U.R.A.L., Magnifying Urban Realities & Affecting Lives, a nonprofit organization founded by Chicago recording artist Lupe Fiasco that focuses on food, justice and youth empowerment. Outside of the office, Keena enjoys going to the theatre to catch the latest Broadway play and is an avid fan of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Some of Keena’s favorite places to visit in the Windy City include Soho House, The DuSable African American History Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art and the Black Ensemble Theatre.

Join us in welcoming Keena Carson to the First Nonprofit Group’s excellent professional staff.

Testimonials

First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.

Community Care Inc., Milwaukee, WI

Life is certainly busy these days but having business partners like First Nonprofit has made some of the process hassle free. We have worked with this team for years. When we changed payroll systems, they outlined every step. I think this team is terrific and I know they get the job done! Thank you, Cruz, to all the team at FNP.

Gulfside Healthcare Services, New Port Richey, FL

FNP has helped our agency to save thousands of dollars every year on our unemployment coverage. The service is phenomenal, and we are thankful to their team as our partner. My experience working with Marshall on the advocacy around UE for nonprofits was also a highlight as someone who teaches advocacy and lobbying for nonprofits. Really, your whole team is top shelf, so thank YOU!

Chicago Children’s Theatre has greatly benefited from our partnership with First Nonprofit, and I have always enjoyed working with the staff on our filings and any complicated questions. I would not hesitate to recommend First Nonprofit to fellow nonprofits. We’re very happy customers.

FNP is a great resource for Daniel Kids. To have a TPA that we can count on to take point on not only managing our unemployment claims, but to support and guide any protest hearing, is invaluable. All the professional support staff we have worked with have been excellent, very knowledgeable and responsive. We are grateful for the help and support, thank you.

Daniel Kids, Jacksonville, FL

When I first began in my position at my organization, I hadn’t had experience working with a company like FNP. The staff was so patient and helpful in helping to explain the benefits of First Nonprofit. Anytime I reach out with a question I receive a quick, clear, and thorough response. I’m so thankful that we decided to partner with FNP. Their excellence in customer service, coupled with their variety of packages frees us up to truly serve our staff and community with a peace of mind knowing that our organization is protected against unanticipated unemployment insurance expenses.

First Nonprofit gets an A+ in my book. You are so easy to work with & very knowledgeable! Whether it is my quarterly correspondence with Kim or my random interactions with Dawn about a bond … I am so pleased that I get to work with such a helpful company. Thank you!
