Why invest in a nonprofit consultant-specific event with Funding for Good?
“As a first-time business owner, I came [into Boot Camp] with so many questions and was happy to discover many answers and new things to try! The program’s structure kept me on track and making progress in my business.
I especially love the team, their collective generosity, and the wealth of knowledge they bring to the table. Boot Camp was a super generative and clarifying experience.”
“When I started consulting, it was more of a side gig without a plan for growth. With Mandy and Marie’s help, I’ve been able to create more structure and systems that have already made my business more efficient and effective. FFG’s one-on-one approach was so helpful for me as it allowed me to get specific guidance tailored to my existing business. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner!”
“I started my business three years ago. Since then, I’ve been operating informally, accepting new clients and projects when they come my way. But I was not excited about some of the work I was doing. I realized that for my business to be fulfilling, I needed to double down and get serious. That’s when I started working with Funding for Good.
The FFG team helped me find the work I love [and] showed me how to focus my business around it. I’m excited to launch this new phase of my business and can’t wait to get to work!”
Meet Our Speakers
Most consultants are experts at working IN their business but struggle to work ON their business.
You don’t have to do it alone. Say no to living with “imposter syndrome.”
Together, we will increase knowledge, skills, and resources to help you launch or grow your dream business.
Each presenter has more than two decades of nonprofit experience to share. Our goal is to ensure every participant walks away from this summit with greater clarity, meaningful connections, and ready-to-use resources.

Session I: Own Your Expertise: How to Present Your Accomplishments
Clients want your expertise and experience, but few have time to read your resume or wade through an extended bio. That’s why learning to communicate your accomplishments clearly and simply is essential — especially when you’re stepping into consulting and building your reputation.
Session II: Your business one-pager: foundational marketing piece
As a new consultant, marketing yourself can feel overwhelming. Starting with a foundational piece like a simple one-pager, can help you craft your pitch and feed into your other marketing tools: in-person conversations, LinkedIn
Marie Palacios – Lead Consultant, Funding for Good
Session III: Developing Consulting Services: Creating Process and Products that Sell
As a business owner, you don’t get paid for all the time and resources you spend on developing new services or products unless they sell. This session is designed to help consultants design profit-driven products with efficiency in mind.
Mandy Pearce – Owner, Funding for Good
Session IV: Charging What You’re Worth: The Art of Pricing Your Services and Products as a Consultant
Are you unsure of where to start with pricing your services or billing clients for your work? Are you overwhelmed by the considerations for managing your time with apps and spreadsheets for clients? In this session, we’ll discuss critical elements of creating your base rate as a consultant, learn the key components of establishing service fees, and explore practices to maximize your time and revenue.
Session V: Client Engagement Documents: How to Improve Scopes of Work and Contracts
A well-crafted Scope of Work (SOW) can help you identify a great client prospect—or quickly spot an individual or group that may not be an ideal fit. Once agreed upon, the SOW becomes the driving tool behind a thorough, protective contract and the roadmap for a successful engagement.
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a project thinking, “I’ll never do this again!” or “I would have charged a lot more if I knew the client was going to do that!”? This session will help you align expectations and protect your business from the start. We will dive into what a SOW is, why you need it, and how it serves as a powerful communication tool for both you and your clients. We’ll also cover critical contract considerations to protect your assets, including bare-minimum essentials, time- and money-saving clauses, and low-hassle, ethical contract exit options.
Marie Palacios – Lead Consultant, Funding for Good
Session VI: Streamlining Meeting Management with Clients
This mini session breaks down the five things consultants should share with clients before every meeting. FFG will share a template to help consultants simplify emails and improve communication.
