Launch Your Nonprofit Consulting Business With a Strong Foundation

The Relatable Nonprofit Mentorship is for nonprofit professionals who take their work seriously and want to turn their expertise into a consulting business that matches their level of experience.

This is not a program about nonprofit basics or technical skill-building. It's a business-building program focused on the business side of nonprofit consulting.

Our members bring a wide range of skill sets, from prospect research to photography to succession planning and more. They also have experience working inside many types of organizations across different budgets, geographic locations, and mission areas. Most members are based across the U.S., and some are international.

What they have in common is that they want more control over their income, time, and work, and they want a clear path to building a consulting business that works.

We help members launch consulting, fractional, and coaching businesses.

Some members work as consultants, advising nonprofits on strategy and planning. Others take on fractional roles, operating like part-time staff and helping implement the work inside the organization. Others offer coaching, supporting nonprofit leaders with guidance and accountability.

While the models can look different, the business foundations are the same. You still need to position your expertise, define services, price your work sustainably, and consistently attract nonprofit clients.

Members who succeed tend to bring two things:

• a valuable skill set nonprofits already need
• a willingness to show up and apply what we teach

Plan to spend about 1 to 5 hours per week attending coaching sessions, implementing, and using the resources.

Our system has now been applied by 90+ consultants inside the program.

You are not joining a program where you disappear into the background.

We designed the Mentorship to be personal, practical, and relationship-driven. We know our members, the work they’re building, and the goals they’re pursuing, so the feedback you receive is specific to your consulting business and stage of growth.

Support happens through group coaching, individual feedback, and active participation inside the community.

We created this program because we needed it ourselves.

When we started consulting, we found a lot of business advice that was either too generic, too advanced, or not built for nonprofit professionals making this transition.

What was missing was a nonprofit-specific roadmap for turning your experience into services, pricing them well, and getting the right clients.

It's the only program we know of designed specifically this way for nonprofit professionals who want to launch a consulting business.

Most members treat The Mentorship as a business investment because it helps them save time, make stronger decisions, and avoid building through trial and error.

You can try to figure out consulting through free content, books, podcasts, and ChatGPT searches. Many of us start there. The problem is that scattered advice can cost you months of overthinking, underpriced offers, unclear proposals, draining client work, and inconsistent sales conversations.

The Mentorship brings everything you need in one place so you can build with more clarity and fewer expensive detours.

This is not just about getting more information. It is about getting the structure and support to move faster and make better decisions as you build.

You can enroll any time by booking a call. The call is a chance to assess fit, timing, and goals together. If it’s aligned, you’ll be invited to join. If it’s not, we’ll tell you honestly.

Not necessarily.

We’ve seen members replace their 9 to 5 salaries in as little as six weeks. Others take a few months to land their first contract. Results vary based on your experience, offer, positioning, and consistency in applying what we teach.

The point of the program is to help you build the foundation that makes client acquisition faster, not to wait until you somehow figure that out on your own first.

If you want the full business roadmap, 1:1 coaching, group mastermind, and consultant community, The Mentorship is the best fit.

If you mostly want to connect with other nonprofit consultants, attend networking calls and member-led sessions, find opportunities, and stay in the room without coaching, The Community may be a better fit.

You can always start with The Community and join The Mentorship later if you find you want more structure and support.
