Monthly Retainers
Consistent support. Clear deliverables.
A partner who knows your work.
Athena’s Bridge retainer packages are designed for mission-driven organizations that need more than a one-time push; they need steady, strategic support to move their work forward with confidence.
I offer three levels of support, each built to match your goals, pace, and team size.
Why Retainer-Based Support?
Retainers create space for deeper trust, faster execution, and proactive support, not just reactionary tasks. I get to know your team, your tone, your timing. You get a partner who can anticipate needs and make things happen with less back-and-forth.
If you're tired of re-explaining your mission to freelancers or trying to juggle it all yourself, let’s talk.
No pressure. Just a real conversation about what’s possible.
What These Rates Reflect
These rates reflect more than just the time we spend together each month: they represent the depth of experience, strategic insight, and creative execution I bring to every partnership. With over eight years of experience supporting mission-driven organizations, a background in communications, and a master’s in nonprofit management, I offer a thoughtful blend of big-picture strategy and hands-on implementation.
You’re not just getting deliverables; you’re gaining a trusted partner who understands the nuances of the nonprofit sector and shows up with clarity, consistency, and care.
