Why This Transition Feels Risky Even When You’re Ready

You have spent years doing meaningful work inside nonprofit institutions. You have built credibility, judgment, and trust.

And you can feel it now.

The structure around you no longer matches the level of responsibility you carry or the life you want to lead. Advancement brings more politics, not more autonomy. Your expertise is relied on, but your control keeps shrinking.

You are not browsing. You are planning a transition that needs to be done well.

You want more control over how you work without blowing up your career, abandoning your values, or destabilizing your income.

The challenge is not whether you have something valuable to offer. The challenge is translating that experience into a consulting business.

Who This Mentorship Is Designed For

This mentorship is for nonprofit professionals who are committed to making the move into consulting in a way that is steady, contained, and professional.

It is a fit if:

✔️ You have deep experience in the nonprofit sector

✔️ You are currently earning or recently earned a senior-level salary

✔️ You want a consulting practice that reflects your credibility and responsibility

✔️ You want income replacement without chaos or constant networking

✔️ You care about mission-driven work and long-term sustainability

Most nonprofit consultants come from inside the sector. The gap is rarely skill. The gap is learning how to run a consulting business.

This is not a space for dabbling. It is for people who have decided to make the transition and want to do it responsibly.

A Structured Path From Employment to Consulting

The Relatable Nonprofit Mentorship is designed as an integrated system that supports the business you’re building from multiple angles at once.

What This Mentorship Covers and What It Doesn’t

We help you build the business side of consulting in the nonprofit sector.

We do:

✔️ Teach you how to position, price, market, and sell your services

✔️ Help you set boundaries and deliver client work without scope creep

✔️ Provide coaching, feedback, and accountability so you keep moving

We do not:

✖️ Provide job placement

✖️ Promise instant results or guaranteed revenue

✖️ Replace legal, tax, or financial professionals

Why Relatable Nonprofit Exists

We built our consulting business from scratch and have generated nearly $800,000 in revenue to date.

We did not have a clean roadmap.

Like many consultants, we tried to piece it together through free groups, expensive programs led by people who did not understand nonprofits, well-meaning communities that offered connection but not traction, and endless networking calls that promised referrals but rarely delivered.

We learned plenty of tactics. Without a strong foundation, very little stuck.

Relatable Nonprofit exists so experienced professionals do not have to repeat that cycle.

Real Results from Real People

When nonprofit consultants get the right support, results follow. Here’s what our members are achieving.

Lee Ann V.

“This community has provided all the support I didn't know I would need. I love that we share our highs and lows and everything in between. This was the first investment I made as a solopreneur and it has paid for itself over and over again.”

Andrew M.

“Cat and Julia’s open, transparent, and human approach to their consulting journey inspired me to join their program. More than just a training curriculum, the Mentorship offers a supportive network, best practices, a safe space to learn and practice, and even a bit of group therapy."

Erin P.

“In less than 4 months, I landed three client contracts that make up my annual nonprofit salary. I have reinvented myself many times over the years, but never with so much intention. Never with as many questions. Never with as much clarity."

Joleen T.

“Relatable Nonprofit is a place to learn, share, and feel safe about positive and negative progress. The team will go out of their way to be transparent and honest to keep each mentee engaged in dreams and success.”

Eron H.

“Relatable Nonprofit is the perfect name for this community: I have found each step of the program to be approachable and sustainable. There are plenty of programs out there that provide similar information and direction, but the difference here are the people and the heart behind it.”

John G.

“The community I've found with Relatable Nonprofit has been such an invaluable resource. Getting to speak with and learn from other consultants has made the process so much easier and helped me to grow faster than I would have otherwise been able to on my own.”

"You'll never feel 100% ready."

Eron H. shares her personal experience of not feeling fully prepared but finding reassurance in the journey. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is overcoming the need to feel 100% ready.
