Apply to Join Our Nonprofit Consultant Network

You do not need to be an IT consultant to join. We welcome consultants who are not direct IT providers, such as those working in human resources, event planning, and fundraising. All consultants must have experience working with nonprofit organizations.

To qualify, consultants must meet the following criteria:

• Consultants must be registered business entities. 
• Consultants must have significant experience in their advertised area of expertise.
• Consultants must have verified experience working with nonprofits. This could be in the form of an online review, case study, or reference.
• Consultants need to provide three references upon applying. These references do not necessarily need to come from a nonprofit.
• Consultants must accept our Terms of Use and pay the listing fee of $395 per year.

Yes; we ask for three references, which we will contact to confirm that you worked together and that they were satisfied with your work. Your references do not necessarily need to be nonprofits.

After you submit your application, our team will review your information and check your references. If we have any questions, or have an update on your application, we will contact you via email.

Preferred providers also serve as our implementation partners for TechSoup Services offers.  Preferred providers undergo a rigorous vetting process and are typically TechSoup’s most long standing consulting partners.

We are not currently looking for new partners for our TechSoup Services offers.  However, that may change in the future and the best way to stay updated about new consulting opportunities through TechSoup is to stay on our Consultant Connection list! 

Nonprofit organizations can access the listed consultants directly through our website. We never charge a fee for nonprofit organizations to use Consultant Connection.

TechSoup does not match or recommend particular consultants at this time. All inquiries will be initiated by nonprofit organizations. We will contact you when we get a request to connect from a nonprofit. You have no obligation to work with interested nonprofits, but we do require that you respond to their inquiry within two business days.

The listing fee is $395 annually.

After your application is approved and your listing is visible, we will contact you with instructions on how to pay with a credit card.

As we recently relaunched consultant connection, we can't predict exact numbers of how many leads you will get. Your listing is visible to our community of 900,000 nonprofits that access our website.

To make changes to your profile, please email us at consultantconnection@techsoup.org. Currently, you are not able to update the listing yourself.
