Mindfully Hiring a Consultant
Hiring consultants is necessary but rarely straightforward. This 90-minute workshop teaches nonprofit leaders how to get better outcomes from consultant relationships through root cause analysis, effective statements of work, expectation management, and implementation planning. Walk away with practical tools including templates, worksheets, and field-specific guidance you can use immediately. Led by Ellie Brown, drawing on 20+ years of experience on both sides of the consulting relationship.

How We Parnter With You
Whether you're a social justice nonprofit, an agency or business with new equity mandates, a foundation rethinking grantmaking, or a school facing community accountability, we meet you where you are and help you build what you need.
How We Work: Partnership, Not Prescriptions
1. We Start With Listening Assessment before solutions. We take time to understand your context, capacity, challenges, and existing strengths before recommending any strategy.
2. We Center Those Most Impacted Equity work requires centering the voices of people experiencing inequity—not just leadership perspectives. We design engagement processes that prioritize community voice.
3. We Build for Sustainability We don't just do the work for you—we build your team's capacity to continue the work long after our engagement ends. Systems that last, not dependency on consultants.
