ProgramTogether lets your nonprofit hire fractional program staff the same way you already outsource HR and finance.
Pick the role · Pick the days · We handle the rest
The formula
Then we work together to decide days, schedule, and format.
Transparent 15% ProgramTogether fee — always.
The insight
HR, finance, IT — nonprofits outsource these routinely. PEOs, fractional CFOs, managed IT. The model is proven, trusted, and board-approved.
When it comes to program delivery, nonprofits are on their own — hiring full-time staff they can't sustain, or going without entirely. That's true whether you're shrinking, steady, or piloting something new and not ready to fully commit.
We bring the contracted services model to program delivery. Your COO will recognize it immediately — because it's the same model they already trust.
What we bring
Vetted practitioners with deep domain expertise, placed fractionally into your organization — any role, any number of days.
Core offeringOrganizations with strong programs and bandwidth to serve peers — turning their expertise into a revenue stream while keeping dollars inside the mission-driven ecosystem.

Growing continuouslyHow it works
We start with a conversation. Tell us the role, how many days per month, and when you need them. Whether it's 5 days this month or 2 days a week for two years — we scope it together with transparent per diem pricing from day one.
We find the right expert or organization from our vetted bench. We handle the contract, the onboarding, and the invoicing. One coordination fee to place the role. Then just the per diem — every day they work.
Your expert shows up — on whatever schedule works — and delivers. When your next need arises, you come back to the same place. One relationship, any role, for whatever comes next.
Pricing
Every per diem is built the same way — total compensation market rate plus our flat 15% ProgramTogether fee. You see exactly what the expert earns and exactly what we make. Always.
The formula
Example · College Access Coach · 2 days/week
$199 one-time coordination fee per placement, then just the per diem.
We take a flat 15% ProgramTogether fee on every expert's daily rate — no exceptions. You'll see it as its own line item every time. Transparency isn't a marketing claim. It's the invoice.
15%ProgramTogether fee · Every invoice · Always visibleEvery per diem is anchored to total compensation market rate. We don't squeeze the people who deliver your program to pad our margin.
