Why use a consultant?

Money and Time Saver

Hiring trained and proven consultants on a short-term or long-term basis is worth the investment to expand your horizon. You may employ consultants on a project, seasonal, or new funding basis. A budget modification of unspent or misspent funds may be the solution to bringing a consultant on board to help you with work you don’t have the time or skill set to complete.

By hiring consultants, you do not have to contend with an employee's instruction, oversight, or long-term commitment. You don't have to worry about salaries and fringe benefits of hiring a skilled employee.

Objective Review

I come to the table as an impartial adviser. All of us struggle with seeing our blind spots, and it’s human nature to believe that we are self-aware and objective. Yet, a third eye often brings a new perspective. It’s natural for you to look from the lens through which you see life and miss problems or opportunities that could push you to the next level.

I can perform a thoughtful and thorough analysis of your situation. It’s easier to adapt to external advice rather than the internal advice of those we are around most often.

Growth and Expansion

Unlocking funding opportunities can be a game-changer for nonprofits and tribal programs. However, navigating the grant application process can be daunting, especially when you lack the expertise or time. Let me help you secure the grants you need to accomplish your mission.

With my assistance, you can stand out in the crowded grant market with a polished, authentic application that showcases your organization's value. Invest in quality presentation, research, and technical content to unlock the funding your project deserves.
