Help Us Update the Nonprofit Consultant List |
The Nonprofit Network hosts a Consultant List available by request to nonprofits seeking outside help in the areas of grant writing, team building, coaching, human resources, board development, diversity/equity/inclusion, accounting/finance, strategic planning, capital campaigns, and other areas of need. We provide this list as a resource to area nonprofits to find the best fit for their organizations and it should not be considered an endorsement.
If you have worked with an area consultant that should be on the list, please email me.
Stay connected,
