Your grantees need help, and you want a vetted capacity-building expert to support them.

We find an experienced capacity-building consultant who knows this field, confirm they are who they say they are, and hand you a brief list of vetted options. You contract directly. They get paid their full rate.

Sixty minutes, $500. Everything starts here.

The situation you already know

You know which of the organizations you support are carrying more than their budgets can hold. Federal victim services funding has narrowed sharply, and the programs doing the work are meeting the same demand with less.

You also know that capacity-building dollars only help when they reach someone who can actually do the work. Finding that person is its own project. Generalist consultants rarely understand what governs this field — confidentiality obligations, survivor safety, what an organization can and cannot put its name on. And your team does not have the hours to vet a field it does not work in.

That is the gap this closes.

Start with a scoping session

A good match depends on a precise understanding of what is actually needed, and that is rarely clear at the start. Sixty minutes together gets us there.

We work through what the organization is carrying, what a strong outcome would look like, how the funds can and cannot be used, and what the timeline really allows. You leave with a written summary of the need, a firm price for the search, and an honest recommendation — including if a search is not the right next step for you.

Payment, intake, and scheduling happen together when you book, so the session begins with us already prepared.

How it works

What you can source

Expertise grouped the way capacity-building grants are already written.

Who this is for

• Foundations and corporate funders supporting survivor-serving organizations
• Intermediary funders and regranting organizations
• State, tribal, and territorial coalitions purchasing on behalf of member programs
• Government agencies and public funders sourcing technical assistance

Why a vetted network matters

Most consultant directories say plainly that they do not screen anyone. Ours does. Every expert submits a resume, two letters of support, and a professional history, all reviewed before they are listed. The Survivor-Centered Expert designation means someone who knows this field looked closely and said yes.

Approval is a review, not an endorsement of any particular engagement. You keep your own contracting and due diligence. What you save is the months of searching that come before it.

The experts keep what they earn

APA Marketplace takes no commission on expert services. Experts pay an annual listing fee and keep one hundred percent of what they are paid. When you fund an engagement here, all of it reaches the person doing the work.

What it costs

Scoping session: $500

Sixty minutes, paid at booking. Includes the intake, the session, and a written summary of the need with a firm search fee.

Search: $2,000

One organization, one need, and a brief list of vetted options. If you move forward within ninety days of your session, the $500 is credited, bringing the search to $1,500. The fee covers the search and is payable on delivery of your list. It is not contingent on hiring.

Larger or added scope: quoted

Several organizations, a statewide network, or more than one area of expertise. We price it in writing after your session and nothing is added to your cost without your written agreement.

Invoices, W-9s, and vendor paperwork are available on request.
