HOURLY RATE
FLAT FEE
Invest in Strategic Progress – $160/hour
At $160 per hour, you gain more than consultation time — you gain a partner committed to moving your initiatives forward. Hours can be used for direct dialogue or for the essential behind‑the‑scenes work: analyzing data, mapping options, drafting strategies, and preparing recommendations. This flexible model ensures that every hour contributes to measurable progress and sustained impact.
This is ideal for organizations that are testing the waters, those with short‑term projects such as short-deadline grant writing or proposal development, or teams that need targeted support but are uncertain about their budget. It’s a practical way to access senior‑level expertise on demand, while experiencing the depth of support available from longer‑term partnerships.
RETAINER
MONTHLY
Monthly Retainer – $15,000
Secure up to 108 hours of dedicated consulting support each month, with prioritized scheduling to ensure your initiatives never lose momentum. These hours extend beyond direct conversations — they include the behind‑the‑scenes work that drives results: researching complex issues, identifying solutions, drafting strategies, and preparing materials that equip your leadership team to act with clarity and confidence.
Monthly retainers save you $2,280/month compared to hourly billing. That’s equal to 14 free hours each month. This is a cost‑effective way to sustain progress on complex initiatives. It is ideal for organizations ready to operationalize strategy, build systems of accountability, and embed expertise into daily decision‑making.
RETAINER OPTIONS
ANNUAL
Annual Retainer – $170,000
Commit to a full year of partnership and receive up to 1,248 hours of expertise. This option provides a price break of $10,000 off the monthly retainer rate equal to 62.5 free hours or a discount of $29,280 off of the hourly billing rate equal to 183 free hours.
Clients are guaranteed ongoing availability, priority scheduling, and deep collaboration across your organization’s evolving needs.
Annual retainer clients benefit from both direct engagement and the behind‑the‑scenes work that drives results: researching complex issues, identifying solutions, drafting strategies, and preparing materials that equip leadership teams to act with clarity and confidence.
This model is ideal for organizations seeking continuity, alignment, and a trusted advisor embedded in their long‑term strategy — ensuring that every hour contributes to measurable progress and sustained impact.
PROJECT BASED
VARIABLE TIME PERIOD
Project‑Based Consulting - Budgeted
For organizations seeking a defined outcome rather than ongoing hours, I offer project‑based engagements. These begin at my standard hourly rate of $160/hour but are capped at the agreed‑upon project budget. This means you receive all deliverables outlined in the scope of work — regardless of how many hours it takes to complete them.
Project‑based consulting is ideal for initiatives such as long-lead-time grant writing, strategic plan development, governance frameworks, or complex data storytelling projects. By committing to the project rather than the clock, you gain confidence that the work will be completed thoroughly and strategically, with no surprises in cost.
This model ensures that every deliverable is aligned with your budget, not constrained by time, and reflects my commitment to seeing your project through to successful completion.
Negotiable Rates
Because of our commitment to the social sector and its vital contributions to community well-being, Inspire Impact offers negotiable rates for organizations with demonstrated inability to pay. These arrangements are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure access while sustaining quality outcomes.
