We’re so thrilled you’re interested in reaching out to our team at Prosper Strategies, and we can’t wait to talk with you.

Question: I’m starting a nonprofit. Can you help me?
Answer: Prosper Strategies offers a Strategic Planning Toolbox for startup nonprofits priced at $279. Outside of free resources and the Toolbox, we do not do consulting work with startup nonprofits. Our consulting engagements are all designed for established organizations. For startup services, we recommend Emily Davis Consulting.
Question: How much does it cost to work with Prosper Strategies?
Answer: If you wish to work with us on your strategic plan in a consulting capacity, services start at $35,000 for facilitation-oriented engagements and at $70,000 for full-service strategic planning. Pricing for facilitation and full-service strategic planning is customized based on your needs after a series of conversations with your team. For marketing and brand engagements, each project is highly customized and we provide a range of investment options after a series of conversations. The majority of our clients spend an average of between $50,000 and $150,000 per year with Prosper Strategies.
Question: Do you respond to RFPs?
Answer: We don’t often respond to RFPs (at least not in the traditional way) at Prosper Strategies. Here’s why. That said, if you are moving forward with a RFP, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t reach out. Contact us, and we can discuss how to proceed.
Question: Do you have resources on fill in the blank here for nonprofits like mine?
