Consulting Plans
What's right for your organization?
Whether you need a few questions
answered or are considering a
mini-capital campaign, you'll probably
find it here.
Because of our sincere desire to help
smaller nonprofit groups more effectively,
Carter Resource Development has
elected to conduct most of its consulting
services via telephone and/or e-Mail.
We've found that most smaller nonprofits
can't afford to hire a consultant for on-site
fundraising counsel. Consequently, they
choose to weave their way through the
world of fundraising on their own.
Pricing structures also assume that organizations will provide access to their office staff or volunteers (trained with good office skills) to Carter Resource Development. This is for your benefit and protection.
