We are pleased to begin a Directory of Consultants that are recommended by other nonprofits and want to serve and support the nonprofit community. When you are looking for local expertise, start here. But before you call, answer the questions on this "Organizational Needs Assessment" to better understand your own organization and then you might want to look at "All About Using Consultants", or "Guidelines for Choosing the Right Consultant".
CNE makes no representation, recommendation or endorsement of the consultants listed in this directory. Some consultants may answer simple questions for free; however, others may charge for their services.
