A freelancer for everything
You can’t always be amazing at everything - no matter how hard you try. There'll be a time to delegate, and a time to ask for an extra pair of hands.
That’s OK. In fact, it's what we're here for! Fair Collective consultants and freelancers will take care of the things that aren’t your forte (or that you don’t have the time for), so you can focus on what you’re best at.
You name it, we've got a specialist for it. From strategy development to fundraising, HR to graphic design. Whatever you might need help with, rest assured: we’ve got the right person for the job. And they're ready to be teamed up with your organisation today.
We support organisations of all sizes (take a peek at a few of our amazing clients below). Our work with larger organisations allows us do our affordable and pro bono support for smaller organisations.
P.S. The only thing we don't do? Legal - but our friends over at LawWorks have that covered (check them out for pro bono legal support).
A note on pricing
On a tight budget? Don't worry. We believe every organisation should have access to high quality support. If we can signpost you to free support, we always will.
Oh, and here’s something pretty cool: our day rates are based on income size.
And, as a social enterprise, we reinvest 50% of our profits into pro bono work for tiny charities. (In the past 7 years, we’ve provided more than 500 hours of pro bono support!)
Working with Fair Collective means you’ll be helping us do good stuff, too.
