What is the Average Fee for a Nonprofit Consultant?


Understanding the typical costs associated with nonprofit consulting can help organizations appreciate the value of CCT Atlanta’s pro bono services. Generally, nonprofit consultants charge fees based on their expertise, project scope, and duration. According to industry standards:


  • Hourly rates can range from $100 to $300 or more

  • Project fees often start at several thousand dollars, depending on complexity

  • Retainer agreements may be used for ongoing support


These costs can be prohibitive for many nonprofits, especially smaller organizations with limited budgets. That is why CCT Atlanta’s model of providing nonprofit consulting services at no cost is so impactful. We remove financial barriers, allowing nonprofits to access top-tier consulting that drives real results without straining their resources.
