You Know How to Do the Work—Running the Business Is the Hard Part
Most nonprofit consultants start with strong skills and years of experience. The problem is that consulting doesn’t just require doing the client work—it requires running a business. You’re expected to choose services, price them, explain your value, find clients consistently, manage projects, and keep income steady. Nonprofit jobs don’t teach any of that.
So people end up piecing it together as they go. Pricing becomes a guess. Every project is custom. Marketing feels inconsistent or awkward. Sales depend on referrals and hope. Operations live in your head (or nowhere). You can be busy and still feel like the business is fragile.
The gap isn’t your ability. It’s the lack of a complete operating system.
The Five Pillars of a Thriving Consulting Business
This isn’t theory—it’s the framework we used to build our own business after we left our nonprofit jobs to consult, now refined with 80+ nonprofit consultants. The curriculum we teach is designed around five core pillars that cover everything you need to build a stable, sustainable business.
Fundamentals
Clarify your services, pricing, positioning, and business structure so your work feels solid and stays that way.
Marketing
Build a simple visibility strategy that attracts the right nonprofit buyers with clear messaging and consistent lead flow.
Sales
Learn a repeatable, values-aligned sales process to lead confident calls, handle objections, and close without discounting.
Operations
Set up workflows, boundaries, and business rhythms that protect your time and energy while you serve clients well.
Scaling
Upgrade your pricing, offers, pipeline, and systems so you can grow like a business owner—not a burnt-out freelancer.

Is This Program Right for You?
Our mentorship is for nonprofit consultants who want to build a business without wasting time and money figuring it out the hard way—whether you’re just starting or you’ve already been working with clients.
We built our business from scratch and have generated nearly $800,000 in revenue to date—but we didn’t get there with a clean roadmap. Like many consultants, we tried to piece it together: free Facebook and LinkedIn groups, expensive coaching programs led by people who didn’t understand nonprofits (some helpful, most not a fit), nonprofit communities that gave connection but not clients, and endless networking calls that promised referrals or collaboration—only for nothing to come through and for us to realize many consultants were just as confused. We Googled, watched webinars, listened to podcasts, and learned plenty of tactics, but without a strong foundation, nothing really stuck.
Relatable Nonprofit exists because we don’t want you to repeat that cycle.
If you want to shortcut the trial and error, build on a solid foundation, and learn how to run a consulting business that actually works in the nonprofit sector, this program is for you—whether you’re at the beginning or ready to fix what’s already in motion.
