Volunteer Consulting

How do you find a professional with expertise who can assist with a specific project? Simply call BVU.

Combine our deep understanding of the nonprofit sector with our strong business ties and the result is a powerful program that delivers high quality consulting services. We'll conduct a needs assessment to help a nonprofit identify their specific need and what type of professional is needed to tackle this project. If you become a member of BVU, 20 hours of consultation are included free with your membership. A nominal fee is charged after 20 hours.

Human Resources

BVU can help with compensation/benefits planning, employee handbook review, HR audit and performance audits.

Technology

We can consult with you on database evaluation, technology roadmap and other technology issues.

Finance

Contact us if you need assistance with your business plan development, financial procedure review and internal controls.

Marketing/Branding

Let us provide an expert to improve your communication goals and provide advice to make sure the image you represent to the community is accurate.

Other

You name the situation -- legal issues, supply chain concerns, real estate needs, executive coaching, pricing strategies or finding an architect - and BVU can connect you with the type of expert you need.
