The NPTA Fund has recently launched a new version of the Consultant Directory. Check it out here!
The NPTA Fund Consultant Directory serves as a premier resource for helping the West Michigan nonprofit community identify consultant support and technical assistance providers. The new and improved directory provides a complete profile of consultant areas of expertise and services. We are seeking professionals with specific experience serving the unique needs of the nonprofit organizations. Service categories range from board development, strategic planning, and human resources to executive coaching, grantwriting, marketing and more. It is our goal to provide the nonprofit community with accurate and comprehensive information to allow them to seek out the consultant who best fits their needs.
Consultants wishing to be listed in the Directory can view our Consultants page for further details.
