About Us
Meet our founder
Hello Community Partners! My name is Shunqetta N. Cunningham. I am the CEO and Lead Consulting Strategist of KHARIS Group. I started KHARIS because I know nonprofits are the true second responders of the community. When a crisis arises, the first call is to our wonderful law enforcement personnel, and the second call is to nonprofits and communities for resources and programs. KHARIS is a call to action entity designed to build stronger communities.
I have submitted successful applications to private foundations, corporate giving programs, and state and federal agencies. I love telling your stories and learning more about the wonderful people with a heart to serve and a desire to grow. My primary goal is to enhance the effectiveness of your organization’s impact through grant procurement, strategic development, and leadership training to build an internal structure for external impact.
Why I believe in KHARIS? We understand our wow factor in relation to the services we provide. The primary reason KHARIS is so successful is based on our effort to know your organization and your team. Nonprofit organizations and small communities are facing challenging times and multiple methods are needed to generate income. While, everyone is not grant-ready, I will work hard to develop strategic recommendations to maximize the effectiveness of your organization.
Together, we can make a real impact.
Shunqetta N. Cunningham, MPA
A Spotlight on Shunqetta
Ms. Cunningham's work at KHARIS Group Consulting involves delegating and directing the workflow strategy of the company, driving profitability and business growth, managing the company organizational structure, and directing team leadership. She founded the company in 2014 to help nonprofits get the funding they need to serve communities facing social, mental, economic, or racial barriers. Ms. Cunningham is a strong advocate for equity and change in underestimated and underrepresented populations. In addition to her work with KHARIS, she provides services to leaders, schools, state entities, and organizations across the country. Through the Leaders On-Demand program, she hopes to challenge herself and gain a better understanding of how she can support the African diaspora, while fostering connections that would otherwise not have been established.
