Work With Us

Whether you lead a nonprofit, a faith-based organization, or a family foundation — here’s how to get started with RDB Consulting.

RDB Consulting works with a focused group of clients — nonprofits seeking to grow their funding, and foundations looking to strengthen their grantmaking. Randall takes on a limited number of engagements at a time to ensure every client receives his full attention and expertise.

If your organization is based in — or focused on — the Chicago or Detroit Metropolitan areas, and you’re ready to take your funding strategy to the next level, we’d love to hear from you.
