If I feel my skills match your need, I will work with you to establish an arrangement that fits your budget. If you're unsure, let's talk: an initial consultation costs you nothing.

For most projects, I offer an hourly rate on a sliding scale from $46 to $82.

For projects with reasonably predictable requirements, I may agree to a flat rate, typically starting at $800.

I do not accept percentage-based compensation. For additional insight into this detrimental and dishonorable practice, refer to this position paper issued by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
