Consulting fees are on a sliding scale based on organization budget size and NMS membership status. Our standard hourly consulting rate is $130, with progressive discounts for NMS members and organizations with budgets of less than $5 million.

Each consulting assignment is unique, so we encourage you to call and discuss your needs with us. We'll talk about what you want to accomplish through working with a consultant, describe the types of help we can provide, and give you an idea of the cost. For short-term projects such as retreats, training, and consultations, we can make arrangements and finalize terms over the phone or, if preferred, provide you with an informal proposal to review. For more extensive projects (strategic planning, etc.), we may want to meet with you to develop a scope of work, and we will provide a full proposal for your consideration. There is no charge for the initial phone conversation or meeting.
