Results

How does the fundraising consultant program work?

The first step: An assessment visit.
The next steps: Depending upon the results of an assessment visit, you will choose your own particular direction. A fundraising consultant can guide you through the many complex steps of planning and implementation.

What is a consulting contract?
After completion of an assessment visit, your congregation may want to continue the services of a fundraising consultant. The contract is completed between your congregation and the Unitarian Universalist Association. It lists the specific work to be completed and the accompanying time frame.

The Unitarian Universalist Association charges your congregation $900 per day for consulting services. You are charged for on-site consulting time, off-site report-writing time (the assessment visit summary and the feasibility study summary), and one-way transit time. Part of this fee is then given to your consultant, while the remainder is used to defray all of the consultant's expenses. Your congregation never pays for a consultant's transportation, lodging, or meals.
