Start the Assessment
Not Sure What Kind of Nonprofit Consulting Actually Fits You?
If you’ve ever thought:
-
"I’ve done so many things in nonprofits that I do not know what I should actually offer."
You have experience, but broad experience can make it harder to name your clearest consulting lane.
-
"I know I could consult, but I am not sure what organizations would pay me for."
The issue is usually not lack of skill. It's lack of clarity around the problems you solve best.Â
-
"I’ve started consulting, but my services still feel too broad or all over the place."
When your offer is fuzzy, marketing is harder, sales feel harder, and growth stays inconsistent.
Then this assessment will help you find your best-fit consulting path.Â

Created By Nonprofit Consultants Who Know How Hard it is to Figure Out What to Offer
Hey, we’re Cat and Julia.
In 2021, we left nonprofit leadership roles to start consulting. Because we had worn so many hats in our nonprofit careers, we built our business the way a lot of nonprofit professionals do at first. We offered a little bit of everything. Planned giving. Crowdfunding. Direct response marketing. And more.
We thought being able to do many things would make us more valuable. Instead, it made our business harder to explain and harder to grow. Organizations were not always clear on what to hire us for, and we felt spread thin doing all kinds of work.
That is why we created this assessment. It helps you identify the kind of consulting work you are best suited for, so you can stop guessing, clarify your offer, and build around the work you do best.
