At Keela, our values are very important to us. Not only do we live by them— we work by them too. They are fundamental to the way we build our product, interact with our customers and educate the sector.
Agility is the ability to adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances. Embodying this value means being flexible, responsive, and comfortable with ambiguity.
To share in and engage with the feelings of others through active listening, acceptance, emotional sensitivity, and genuine curiosity.
To reimagine an existing product in a way that redistributes value. Whether it’s disruptive, incremental, or radical, innovation requires curiosity and bold risk-taking.
Taking ownership means fully accepting the opportunities and responsibilities within your role. It means holding yourself accountable for your decisions, shortcomings (mistakes), and successes.
Candor with Commitment means being open to different perspectives and communicating honestly while staying committed to team decisions and outcomes.
Developing purpose-built software is an important part of Keela’s culture– and that’s why every member of the Keela team has spent time in the nonprofit sector. We have former executive directors, communications staff, volunteer managers, fundraisers, and canvassers… And that doesn’t even include all the current roles our team members hold on various nonprofit boards.
This was an important choice for us because central to everything we do here, to our philosophy, is our values of social responsibility. It is key that we don’t just prescribe a solution for nonprofits. We want to build a tool that responds to the variety of problems that challenge the sector.
