This quiz helps you make an informed decision based on where you are right now—so you can move forward with a plan.
From Nonprofit Pros to Business Owners
Hey—we’re Cat and Julia. In 2021, we left our nonprofit jobs to start consulting. We built our business from scratch and have generated nearly $800,000 in revenue to date. But we didn’t get there with a perfect roadmap.
We learned through trial and error that cost us time and money—underpricing, relying on referrals, hiring business coaches that knew nothing about how nonprofits buy, Googling, joining free communities, and taking endless networking calls trying to figure out “best practices” for nonprofit consulting.
So we created Relatable Nonprofit to share the resources we wish we had, and now we help nonprofit professionals stop winging it and build structured consulting businesses with steady income.
