J Y Enterprise Inc. is a for-profit corporation that embraces the values of the not-for-profit industry, thereby positioning the company as an innovator within the fields of both business and service. The Enterprise’s mission is to create and implement strategic business and fundraising plans for individuals and organizations committed to improving people’s lives through creativity and innovation. The company focuses on clients in the areas of the arts, education, communication, health, and technology, from museums and artists to schools and medical professionals.
Many other consulting companies concentrate primarily on economic profitability, oftentimes compromising the mission in order to respond to the demands of the market. The Enterprise creates and implements business and fundraising plans with the purpose of realizing the vision of its clients and making an impact on the market and the community through creative and innovative offerings. The strategies are developed within the context of sound business practices resulting in the means for fulfilling the client’s mission, while simultaneously achieving financial prosperity.
Jyll established J Y Enterprise in 1999 as a part-time project and made it a full-time endeavor in August 2000, adding two part-time associates in December 2000 and February 2001. Brought together, the staff of J Y Enterprise comprises a well-rounded package of expertise in development, marketing, public relations, education, and the arts.
