Our Initiatives

We use a human-centered, system-based approach and a strength-based perspective.

Organizational Progress

Organization Development (OD) is a systematic and planned approach to improving an organization’s effectiveness, efficiency, and overall health. OD aims to align an organization’s strategy, structure, processes, people, and culture in order to achieve its goals and improve its performance.

OD involves a wide range of interventions, such as leadership development, team building, process improvement, culture change, and communication strategies.

Executive Progress

Leadership coaching can be especially beneficial if you are facing new challenges or transitions in your career, or if you are looking to take your leadership skills to the next level. Our coaches can provide you with an objective perspective, help you identify blind spots, and provide tailored guidance and support as you work towards your goals.

An interim executive director, on the other hand, is a temporary leader who is brought in to lead an organization during a time of change or transition. An interim executive director provides stability and continuity of leadership, and is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the organization, managing staff, and executing the organization’s strategic plan.

Digital Aging Services Expansion

Thoughtful and Thorough. I'm getting a lot of ideas and I look forward to working further with the digital aging services implementation team.

I would recommend Kovir because their team understands the unique needs of older adults and approaches the creation of the virtual site through an aging lens, from start to finish. The process of creating the site can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the technology, but Marie is incredibly patient and encouraging. Marie takes the time to learn about the unique needs and goals of your organization and customizes the experience and end product to meet those needs.

The technical training and support provided by the Kovir LLC team is very timely and helpful. My overall experience has been good. My favorite thing is the safety and security for our seniors that use the site and soon the mobile app Kovir is building. Seniors feel more comfortable with sharing information and the ease of not being overwhelmed with ads or solicitation.

Grant Strategy

This is SO helpful! Thank you for all of your time, we feel encouraged and energized by your insights and advice!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for providing probably the best course I have attended for grant writing. I have attended several over my 5 year tenure here at VIND and this, by far, has provided so much more than I ever expected. Partnering with KOVIR was a gift for all of us to learn and take back something from each weeks session. Again, I thank you all for everything.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I think that is such a great service, especially when we read and re-read our proposals and our eyes get cross-eyed; a fresh set of eyes would be so helpful. Marie, I thoroughly enjoined the training and how you presented the information. It made sense to a non-grant writer and was easy to follow and understand. Thank you.

Thank you for the information and feedback. We will be routing all grant applications to your office about two weeks before they are due to allow for review, them to be returned and needed updates to be made.

In our conference call with Marie today, we laid out our 40-year-old organization's complex history of fundraising, hoping for her perspective and advice. Marie asked insightful questions, helped us see that our dilemmas are universal struggles that many non-profits face, and suggested we focus on a few particular directions. She can gently cut to the chase on each topic and guide a discussion so people feel encouraged and energized. A generous spirit offering whole-hearted support for those of us working in the non-profit world.

Supervision & Leadership

This experience has completely transformed my understanding of what social work is, and what social work can be. It has especially increased my understanding of what macro-social work looks like, and has illustrated how impactful it can be. That is why I have decided to choose policy and political social work and social work practice with older adults as the two concentrations I will be studying as I enter UofM's MSW program this fall.

Marie values setting mutual expectations and meaningful yet manageable goals. Also, I specifically remember Marie created space for me to reflect after engaging in various services. For example, she let me reflect on not only the current situation and needs, but also ask questions about how to frame questions to gather more information and solutions.

From this opportunity, I learned the importance of quality supervision through an organizational lens. Understanding why things need to be a certain way from an organizational level motivates supervisors and supervisees to follow policy and perhaps share suggestions that may help the organization function smoother.

I have already sent the course info to our two supervisors and our General Counsel. Marie was outstanding, only topped by her information.

If it isn't, this class should be mandatory.

Marie shares her love and enthusiasm for what she does! It is refreshing and motivating!

This training was great and exactly what I was looking for to incorporate into my role. Very well delivered and excellent content.

Websites

Kovir helped us improve the look and functionality of our website. Their needs assessment was spot on and the implementation was smooth. They understand the needs of the aging network, have cost-effective solutions, and made the transition easy. We couldn't be happier.

I highly recommend Kovir LLC! We have been very pleased with Kovir's management of our website. They have familiarity with senior services, are able to interpret our non-tech requests into working features on our site, are very responsive, and are patient while explaining things so our team understands. They not only have depth of knowledge in website management but also a creative and artistic flair that translates to an individualized website that fits our organizational needs and desires.

Organizational Development

Marie was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and helped me think through the stages of the program development in a way that was organized and professional, but still understanding of our needs and abilities as a small nonprofit. I would highly recommend working with her!

Marie was an excellent facilitator and strategist. She brought a valuable outsider's perspective to our business planning task force and helped drive the discussion forward with her insightful questions and ideas. She was a joy to work with!

I received a copy of Kovir's Senior Centers Returning From COVID-19 Guide. I found it very beneficial and had questions specific to our Adult Day Program which is specifically designed for individuals with cognitive impairments. Marie was prompt and practical.

1st time I haven't been bored with a presenter. Timely, insightful, helpful and thought provoking. Great job!! You have a gift!
