Non Profit Consulting Firms

• Is Going National for Every LGBT Organization?
• Smaller non profit LGBT may not have the budget
  to fundraise on national level and may not be
  able to enlist services of non profit consulting
  firms
• Smaller budgets prohibit larger scale fundraising
  for many local or regional LGBT organizations
• In some cases, national fundraising doesnt make
  sense even if budget isnt an issue. The cause
  may be focused on an issue affecting surrounding
  community, or services are for local residents
  alone
