Description

Consulting 101: A Nonprofit’s Guide to Hiring Outside Help
Thursday, February 23 | 1:00 PM– 2:00 PM | Webinar

Presented by: Stephanie Cory, Consultant

Offered in Partnership with: Stephanie Cory

Nonprofits often need assistance beyond the capability of current staff. Whether it’s help with fundraising, board governance, strategic planning, or program evaluation, a critical question is: do you hire a consultant or do you expand your in-house staffing abilities? This webinar will help you answer that and more!

 

In this session, nonprofit consultant and member of PANO’s Consultant Collaborative Stephanie Cory will provide tips for finding the best fit for your needs, help you determine your project scope, and share where you can find prospective partners. We’ll also cover alternative selection methods to a formal RFP process, what criteria to consider when engaging a consultant or contractor, and how to manage expectations along the way (both your expectations and those of prospective consultants/contractors).

 

At the end of our time together, you will be able to:

  • Differentiate between employees, contractors, and consultants
  • Develop a scope of work for projects
  • List sources for identifying finding consultants and contractors

 

Let us help you find the help you need in 2023!

Your purchase entitles you to a single login. Please do not share the login information with others, as it may interfere with your ability to join. If multiple individuals from your organization would like to view the webinar, please purchase separate tickets for each person or consider a group screening ticket (below).

 

Group Screening Cost (4-10 individuals):
$100 per group for PANO Members | $222 per group for Not-Yet Members

Terms of Participation
If you have 4-10 individuals interested in viewing the webinar, please have one person register selecting the group ticket. You can then enter the names and email addresses of up to 9 other individuals to add to your group ticket.

 

This option makes the most sense when you have 4-10 individuals interested in viewing the webinar. For fewer than 4 attendees, a single login ticket for each person is the most cost-effective option. For more than 10 attendees, please email Christina at christina@pano.org to discuss options.
