Since launching K. Weill Consulting in 2002, Kenny's grant development work has helped his diverse clients raise on average $1.5 million each year. He has delivered additional services to help build his non-profit clients’ capacity, including program development and operations management; research such as literature reviews, best practices, needs assessments and industry trends; other writing and copy editing services such as web text, newsletters, correspondence and press releases; and trainings in grantsmanship.

In 2008, Kenny founded NPO Connect, an online platform designed to enable individuals working or volunteering in the non-profit sector to connect, to mentor and/or be mentored by their peers, and to build their skills. The ultimate goal is this skill-sharing will not only benefit the non-profit professionals but also will serve to strengthen their agency and the non-profit sector as a whole.

Kenny has held management, research and direct care positions in community-based, academic, health care and government settings. Before dedicating his time fully to consulting, Kenny worked at The Greater Boston Food Bank as Manager of their Member Services Department. Previously, he was Director of Member Services at Network Health, a Medicaid health plan owned by the Cambridge Health Alliance.
