Prosper encourages everyone to follow these guidelines and we are here to answer questions along the way – we want you to make the right choice for you.

What about your budget?

Balance these factors with your budget. If you would like to hire a specific consultant but the cost exceeds your budget, discuss it with the consultant. A revised proposal outlining a narrower scope of work may meet your needs as well as those of the consultant. There are also other unique ways that we can also redesign a contract to make the costs more palatable. We offer deferred billing and innovative ways to make small non-profits successful without putting money forward up front.

After selection, they recommend that you draw up a that stipulates:

• scope of the work.

• specific tasks to be performed.

• who the consultant will report to and how progress should be communicated.

• description of the final product (written report, oral presentation, or a combination);

• clearly defined timeline, roles, and responsibilities.

• payment schedule and fees.
