Fundraising consultants with AskRIGHT make consulting their primary work. They are full-time or close to it.

Associates are experienced practitioners whose expertise can be utilised in serving AskRIGHT clients.

Typically, Associates are employed full-time by a leading non-profit organisation and have their employer’s permission to consult for up to two days per month, or they are recently retired and want to do some consulting with the support of an experienced firm.

AskRIGHT is enlarging its panel of Associates, particularly in areas of education, healthcare and cultural organisations, and in priority locations.

Associates may find that working with AskRIGHT from time to time is a form of paid professional development, enhancing their skill level and knowledge basis, which then benefits their main employer.

For some, it is a way of continuing to contribute at a senior level in the first years of retirement. For others, it is an opportunity to experience a consulting role before taking the leap into full-time consulting.
