Do you only work with organizations in Washington?
While we are rooted in Washington, we work with clients across the United States. All of our services are offered remotely or hybrid, and we’re happy to tailor engagement formats based on your team’s location and needs.

Is this only for nonprofits?
No. the same patterns, unclear decision-making, roles that haven't kept pace with growth, structures built for a smaller version of the organization, show up well beyond the nonprofit sector. We work with any organization facing that kind of structural strain.

How do your services differ from hiring a full-time staff person?
We provide high-level expertise without the overhead. With consulting and fractional support, you get strategic, executive-level guidance tailored to your scope, timeline, and budget without adding another salaried position to your team.

How much do your services cost?
Pricing varies by service type. Pricing is confirmed following scoping and outlined clearly before work begins.

Can we hire you just for grant writing?
No. EmpowerTactics does not provide outsourced grant writing or grant management. For nonprofit clients, grant support is offered exclusively through proposal review and coaching, strengthening internal capacity while organizations maintain ownership of submissions. We're also happy to provide referrals for services that fall outside our scope.

Existing clients will continue to receive support through the completion of current engagements. We are also happy to provide referrals for services that fall outside our scope.

How long are your engagements?
It depends on the service and depth of engagement, from a short Diagnostic to a multi-month Advisory or Implementation engagement, to longer embedded leadership placements.

What makes EmpowerTactics different from other consultants?
We don’t show up with a template. Our approach is relational, not transactional. We’re here to co-create solutions that actually work for your team. We help organizations clarify how work actually happens and build the infrastructure needed for consistency and continuity.

What if our organization requires invoicing or purchase approval?
Contact us before checkout and we will coordinate invoicing or payment approval.

Why did EmpowerTactics stop offering certain services?
As organizations grow and change, so do their needs. We found that our strongest impact comes from building clear, durable systems. Narrowing our scope allows us to deliver higher quality work with clearer outcomes.

What is required from our team during an engagement?

Most services require timely access to documentation, availability for structured interviews, and engagement from designated leadership contacts. Clear participation expectations are outlined during scoping.

How do you handle confidentiality?

All work is handled with discretion. Information shared during engagements is used solely for the agreed scope of work and is not shared externally.

What happens if we realize we need a different service partway through?

If needs shift outside the agreed scope, we will pause and discuss next steps. Additional work requires a revised scope or a separate engagement.
