What types of nonprofits do you typically work with?
We partner primarily with small to mid-sized nonprofits that are mission-driven and resource-stretched. Whether you're navigating growth, preparing for leadership transition, or struggling with capacity, we meet you where you are.

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

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.

What’s the process for getting started?
We start with a conversation. We’ll learn more about your needs, discuss which service areas might be most helpful, and outline a scope that makes sense for your goals and budget. From there, we’ll move into a formal proposal and timeline.

How much do your services cost?
Our pricing is flexible and based on your organization’s needs. We offer structured packages, hourly support for grant writing, and custom pricing for more complex engagements. We’ll always be transparent about cost and scope before beginning any work.

Can we hire you just for grant writing?
Absolutely. Whether you need one-time support identifying and writing proposals or ongoing assistance managing grant deadlines and reports, we can structure our involvement to meet your team where it is.

How long are your engagements?
It depends on the service. Strategic planning and succession planning are often 6 to 12 week projects. Fractional roles and implementation support typically span 3 to 12 months depending on scope and goals.

Do you only work with nonprofits that are already established?
Not necessarily. We’ve worked with new and emerging organizations that are ready to build strong systems from the start, as well as well-established nonprofits looking to restructure or refocus.

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.
