PACE has developed an online, searchable database for use by the general public. We see the benefit of this database in several ways:

  • Provide a resource for nonprofit organizations to seek consultants in specific areas of expertise
  • Provide an avenue for consultants to make their services more widely available and known to nonprofits in our region
  • Widen the pool of consultants available for use by foundations, nonprofits and intermediaries

There are Resources available for selecting and hiring consultants on the Resources link on the Directory homepage. We recommend nonprofits looking to hire consultants for the first time take advantage of these resources.

Our search function allows you to search by:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Services provided (text, not categories – for example if you are looking for someone who does Strategic Planning we suggest you simply put in “strategic” or “planning” to capture all providers)
  • Affiliations
  • Consulting firm

You can also Click on “Browse Consultants” from the top right drop down menu and narrow your selection using the selection fields on the left.

The Community Investment Network (CIN) is a nonprofit organization, with a national scope, that encourages organizations and individuals to think and act more strategically with their giving to impel greater social change in their communities. The CIN promotes and supports strategic collective giving and community problem-solving by providing knowledge and information regarding various tools and strategies.

The concept of Community Philanthropy is central to this network.

We believe that each of us has the power to become an instrument of change in our community.
