Foraker institutes rate increase — adds new Partner level for small nonprofits
Foraker News
At its October meeting, the Foraker Governance Board approved increases in Partner fees and consulting rates. These changes are modest, and this is only the third time in 15 years that we have increased rates. No other rates, including fees for Foraker classes, are increasing. You may view the new rates and Partner fees below.We also have added a new category of partnership for those organizations with annual budgets below $50,000. This is being done to accommodate nonprofits that otherwise might not be able to become Partners. Even with this fee increase, we are far below the rates charged by our peer organizations.To ease transition to the new fees, organizations that renew as Partners by December 31, 2015, will be charged under the current structure for their 2016 partnership. Also, no increases in consulting rates will be made for Partners who have already arranged for projects in 2016 — the rates they were quoted before the project began will be honored.We have worked hard to keep costs down, especially during this difficult economy. We know you are doing the same at your organizations. If you need our services, but are concerned about cost, please call so we can discuss options.
