How do I find and bid on projects that need a consultant?
Answer:
Nonprofit organizations may post freelance jobs on Idealist. As a member of the Consultant Directory, you are able to bid on these projects with your proposal and fees. Organizations interview candidates and choose the consultant they like best.
To find these projects you must have access to your company’s profile.
If you do have access to your consultant account, do the following to search for projects:
- Login to your Member account by going to our homepage and filling in your login information in the Member Login field on the right side of the screen.
- Once you have logged in to your account, you will see your Control Panel. Click the tab titled "My Groups." Listed in this section is the category "Consultants." Click "Manage" to the left of your company’s name.
- On the next screen you will see your group’s Entry & Update Menu. On the right side of the page is a box titled "Tools." Click "Find potential clients."
- On the next screen you can search for projects posted by consultants according to the title, category, location and the organization’s name. You do not have to fill in all of the fields.
- Click search when you have specified your preferences.
- On the next screen a list will appear of projects. Click the name of the projects for more information.
