Public Sector & Non-Profit Consulting

Public sector consulting firms help governments and other public service organizations achieve high performance in the face of complex challenges by identifying and addressing operational and strategic challenges to increase efficiency and profits.  Firms dedicated to helping governments often specialize by type of agency (environmental, defense, criminal justice, etc.).  A nonprofit consulting firm’s goal is to help nonprofits reach more donors and raise more funds. They do this by providing the necessary tools and ideas to improve their clients’ fundraising.

Common Good & Creative Careers has compiled the following Nonprofit Consultants List. This list is a sampling of nonprofit consulting firms for students to start researching as they look into this career path.

YC Career Outcomes

The Office of Career Strategy collects information about Yale College graduates. This tool allows users to search outcomes by year and major. Please visit Statistics & Reports for more information on our data collection.

  • First Destination summaries are based on the Knowledge Rate of graduate outcomes six months after graduation according to National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) guidelines.
  • Knowledge Rate, defined by NACE, includes direct survey responses and basic employment or graduate school information confirmed through LinkedIn. Yale’s information below on Starting Salary and Time of Year Offer Received is based only on direct survey responses.

Helpful Tips for the Interactive Tool:

  • There is no Enter or Submit Button, results will appear automatically
  • The default is ‘All Years’ or ‘All Majors.’ Choose specific years or majors for more granular results. Uncheck the selected major(s) to reset your search.
  • The tool returns results with at least five responses. For small majors, choose ‘All Years’ to show results
  • To ensure confidentiality, results are reported in the aggregate
  • If you require additional information contact the Office of Career Strategy
