Kimberly Sellars-Bates is a native Atlantan and a product of the Atlanta Public and Fulton County school systems. She attended Alabama State University where she was an active student in the band, clubs, radio station and social and civic organizations. Upon graduating from ASU with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, she returned to her hometown and began working at Spelman College. While there, Mrs. Sellars Bates was introduced to the world of Resource Development. She worked full time but soon began getting requests from individuals and organizations to establish them as a nonprofit and secure grants. After discussing her next move with her husband, together, they decided that Kimberly should try working for herself. Thus, Kimberly founded her company, KSTB Enterprises in 2007.
KSTB has grown tremendously from her humble beginnings at Kimberly's dining room table. The firm now has offices in four states and is currently responsible for over $20 million in grants and contracts. The firm also has a 100% success rate in securing nonprofit status. Kimberly provides consulting services and conducts seminars, trainings and nonprofit coaching all over the United States.
