First Call

Consulting Services

There are times in the development of organizations when it is time to set goals and objectives to take the organization to the next level--to develop stronger, more efficient programs, policies, and community support. At these times many non-profits wish they could hire a consultant with the expertise necessary to help them grow and accomplish their goals, but consulting can be a very expensive proposition for a non-profit with an already stretched budget. Through generous donations by T.A.P.'s funding partners we are able to offer reduced fee consulting and grant supported consulting. This consulting will be provided through Third Sector Enterprises by local experts, and may include requests for

Strategic planning
Development of a fund raising plan
Meeting and retreat facilitation
Development of personnel policies and manuals
Many other possibilities to assist you meet your organizational goals!

To be eligible for this cost-saving benefit you must be a member of T.A.P.
