FAQs About Our Behavioral Health Fundraising Services
At Recovery Movement Consulting (RMC), we offer transparent, flexible pricing to support the real needs of recovery-focused nonprofits. Whether you’re looking for project-based assistance or consistent monthly support, our peer-led team provides affordable, expert-level behavioral health fundraising services tailored to your mission.
Below you’ll find answers to the two most common questions: How much do our services cost, and how do our contracts work?
What Are Your Rates for Behavioral Health Fundraising Services?
We offer two pricing models to meet the unique needs of behavioral health and substance use recovery nonprofits: hourly consulting and monthly retainers. Hourly Rate Services – Flexible, Budget-Friendly Support If your organization needs occasional or project-based support, our hourly rate model is a great fit. Hourly consulting is offered at $45–$75/hour, with the rate scaled based on your annual operating budget. This ensures smaller nonprofits still get access to high-quality, peer-led behavioral health fundraising services without financial strain. You can use hourly time for grant writing, fundraising strategy, communications, or operational support. All hours are customized to your goals and capacity. Monthly Retainer Packages – Consistent, Strategic Partnership For behavioral health nonprofits ready to grow, scale, and secure sustainable funding, our monthly retainer packages provide expert, hands-on support across all fundraising and development areas. These packages are ideal for organizations that need consistent guidance, strategic planning, and high-output grant and fundraising execution. Each monthly retainer includes weekly virtual check-ins with our peer-led team, a full-year grant calendar tailored to your geographic area and program focus (powered by our premium Instrumentl database), and detailed tracking of all upcoming opportunities. We act as your in-house development team—tracking deadlines, writing proposals, expanding your fundraising strategy, and building your long-term sustainability. These packages deliver significant value through increased hours, deeper engagement, and full-spectrum support. Many nonprofits only fund direct service roles, overlooking the critical need for dedicated fundraising staff. These packages help fill that gap—ensuring your organization has expert fundraising leadership in place to grow and thrive. Monthly Retainer Pricing Tiers Starter Package – $1,500/month: Includes 33.3 hours/month. Ideal for organizations starting their fundraising efforts or needing targeted project-based support.

Legacy Level – $6,500/month: Includes 144.4 hours/month. Designed for organizations ready to operate at full capacity with dedicated, all-hands-on-deck development and strategy support.
How Flexible Are Your Contracts?
All monthly packages are offered on a month-to-month basis, with no long-term commitment required. You can scale up or pause services as your budget and goals evolve. This flexibility makes it easier to bring on expert-level support when you need it most—without the pressure of a locked-in agreement.
