DRG's Consult-A-Thon

October 8-9, 2024

DRG’s inaugural Consult-a-thon was designed to provide all nonprofits with affordable access to industry-leading expertise. This unique event will allow organizations to discuss ideas, address challenges, or seek advice from DRG’s experienced group of professionals, especially those on a budget. Our mission is to support nonprofits in overcoming specific hurdles by offering direct access to our team for up to two hours at a reasonable rate.​​​
