Overview

Mission

The mission of women in consulting (wic) is to provide and support a collaborative community in which independent consultants can discuss their business needs, network, share information and learn about starting, running and promoting an independent consulting practice. Wic uses four major activities to support this mission: 1) monthly meetings, 2) a web site, 3) an e-mail list, and d) seminars.

What it reported doing in 2024

Web site & e-mail listserve: the web site includes a searchable membership database with descriptions of each member's consulting practice. The web site also includes links to topics relevant to consultants such as sample documents (contracts, invoices), a library of past meeting notes, book reviews, recommended resources for consultants and notices of upcoming meetings. Over 100 consultants utilize this member only provided service. The listserve provides an opportunity for over 100 consultants to ask questions to the group at large about real-time consulting issues, solicit recommendations on resource needs or post consulting opportunities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
