Common questions
How much does a fundraising consultant cost?
Our work starts at 850 USD for a single founder consulting session, from 10,500 USD for a defined project such as an audit or a seasonal campaign, and from 15,500 USD per month for a retainer partnership. What moves the number is scope, channel count and how much of the execution we hold.
What changes the price?
Three things: how many channels we run, whether we are advising or executing, and the size of your file. A single-channel seasonal campaign for a 1 million charity sits at the bottom of the range. Full-file execution across appeals, email, ads, major gifts and events sits at the top.
Is media spend included?
No. Advertising budget is paid by you directly to the platforms so you keep the accounts and the data. Our fee covers strategy, creative and management.
Do you work with charities under 1 million?
Yes, usually through membership or a single project rather than a retainer, because a retainer rarely pays back at that size. Tell us your budget and we will say plainly which option fits.
