CNE's Excel Program is a skills-based volunteer consutling programs. Excel is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve by providing high-quality affordable consulting services to nonprofits leaders seeking to address critical organizational issues.  Our services are provided by dedicated and experienced volunteers who are committed to making a difference in their community through pro-bono work. Volunteer consultants come from a variety of backgrounds including finance, nonprofit management, strategic planning, human resources, project management and sales. 

Nonprofit agencies are charged a small fee for services, based on the agency’s operating budget and contracted scope of work. Our consultants donate their time and expertise; we charge small fees to cover o
verhead expenses and ensure the commitment of agency leadership.
Because of our pro-bono structure, our services are much more affordable than standard consulting.
