Elevate NP & PACE announce partnership to increase access to nonprofit consultants in SWPA!
Elevate NP and Program to Aid Citizen Enterprise (PACE) have announced a new partnership to enhance and expand how nonprofit organizations across southwestern Pennsylvania find vetted, high-quality consulting partners to help with strategy, fundraising, communications, financial management, and more.
PACE has developed and operates a directory of dozens of vetted consultants across multiple categories of nonprofit capacity building. In early 2026, Elevate NP launched its Navigation service to connect nonprofits with capacity-building resources, including consultants with diverse subject matter expertise.
Our partnership will leverage each organization’s strengths:
- PACE will operate the nonprofit consultant directory, maintain and verify quality control standards for included consultants, and recruit consultants in underserved categories and geographies
- Elevate NP will assist nonprofits and consultants in identifying and connecting with potential consulting partners tailored to their situation and increase regional awareness of this resource.Elevate NP and PACE will also collaboratively offer professional development programming for nonprofit consultants and host periodic consultant networking events.
As part of this partnership, PACE is creating the new position of Program Manager for Consulting Services. This person will be responsible for directory/community management as well as collecting data and measuring the impact of this partnership.
