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 full business system.

Our Mentorship Teaches You the Whole System
The Relatable Nonprofit Mentorship is a coaching program for nonprofit consultants who are done winging it and ready to build something steady.
We teach you how to package your services so nonprofits immediately understand what you do, price them in a way that supports a real income, and market and sell without feeling pushy or “salesy.” We also help you set up simple operations so client delivery, boundaries, and workflow don’t fall apart as you grow. This is a nonprofit-specific system for building a structured consulting business with predictable income.
The first step is a Growth Call, where we’ll:
✔️ Understand where your business is now
✔️ Identify what’s missing or broken
✔️ Map a realistic 90-day plan
✔️ And decide if mentorship is the right next step

Our mentorship is for nonprofit professionals who want to build a consulting 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.
This program 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 mentorship is for you—whether you’re at the beginning or ready to fix what’s already in motion.
