Consulting Services

The burnout and Great Resignation of the pandemic workplace, layered atop a chronic lack of investment in the nonprofit workforce, has created an existential threat to our sector. Now is the time for urgent action to support  grantee staff. You may not yet be sure what to do or how to do it. This is where our unique expertise, ideas, and tools come in.

Our consulting helps you drive your mission by seamlessly integrating talent-investment practices into your existing priorities. Together, we will advance equity, effectiveness, and endurance in the movements you support by providing funding that works for the people who do the work.

Fund the People brings over a decade of unique expertise, experience, and ideas focused on improving investment in the nonprofit workforce. Our Consulting Services are grounded in our Funding that Works Framework, which offers you a comprehensive and uniquely valuable approach to investing in the nonprofit workforce. There are two prominent concepts that anchor our framework:

• Talent-Investing, which we define as the intentional deployment of capital for the support and development of nonprofit leaders and workers. Learn about our 8 Principles of Talent-Investing.
• Talent Justice, which we define as investments that seek to advance intersectional racial equity in the nonprofit workforce. Learn more about our Talent Justice Initiative.

2. Assess the Human Capital Assets and Needs of Grantees/Nonprofits
3. Develop Customized Talent-Investing Strategy for Your Context
