About Keystone Alliance
A powerful model of collaboration and thought partnership
Who We Are
Keystone Alliance is a nonprofit created by Glenkirk and Search360 to sustain their missions and amplify their collective voice through advocacy. By managing the back-office functions of these two organizations, we provide the operational stability and strategic leadership needed to maximize their mission impact.
What We Do
We extend this proven support to the wider I/DD sector through Keystone Shared Services, offering community-based providers the finance and IT expertise we have refined within our own organizations for over 17 years. We also work with organizations across the broad nonprofit sector through our consulting division, Mission + Strategy, a leading thought partner in strategic advising and merger and partnership support.
We believe a stronger field benefits everyone.
That’s why we provide resources to help organizations build strategic capacity and strengthen mission resilience.

Our Core Strengths:
What Makes Keystone Alliance Different
-
We live the same organizational complexities and daily realities you do. Because we are a nonprofit ourselves, we have a genuine, vested interest in the success of the sector. Unlike generic third-party solutions, our services are built, proven, and continuously improved within our own family of organizations, ensuring they deliver lasting value to the broader field.
-
Our leadership model ensures we stay grounded in what matters most. Our three co-CEOs represent both Keystone and our founding organizations, bringing the diverse perspectives of active I/DD provider organizations to the highest levels of decision-making. This ensures our strategy and solutions are always shaped by the voices of those serving the community every day.
-
We are not just a vendor; we act as a true partner that honors your unique identity, values, and culture. We avoid the "commodity" approach of simple task completion. Instead, we build deep, collaborative relationships that strengthen your operations and build capacity while keeping your mission and your people front and center.
