What is your standard rate?
My service rates are determined following discussion with each client and vary based on a range of factors, including the expected timeline/duration of our work together and the complexity of the services to be performed.

What is the meaning behind the “Rejoice” in Rejoice Consulting?
Rejoice Consulting is owned by Sarah Rejoice Brown. Rejoice is my middle name. I am grateful for it, since it sets me apart from the multitude of other Sarah Browns in the world! My parents were married for 13 years before I was born and wanted a child for many years before that, so “rejoiced” when I was born.
What if the services listed on your site don’t match exactly what I or my organization are looking for?
Please reach out anyway! Opportunities and options don’t always fit into a clear bucket and working with clients to craft a service proposal that meets their goals is one of my specialties.
Do you only work with nonprofits or is your client scope more expansive?
My goal is to work with entities and professionals across the social sector. To date, my client base has largely been comprised of nonprofit organizations and institutions. However, I am very open to working with social enterprises of a private or community interest nature where mission-driven impact is a driving force.
