Common questions
  • Nothing formal. A brief description of your project and the decision you're facing is enough. We'll ask the right questions from there. Most clients come with a rough timeline and a sense of what's at stake. That's all we need to determine scope and fit.
  • Most engagements begin within one to two weeks of contract execution, contingent on receipt of required financial materials. Timeline varies by project complexity. We'll give you a clear picture during the scoping call.
  • Yes. Pollen serves organizations nationally. Engagements have been completed across 20 states. All work is conducted virtually unless in-person sessions are specifically requested and scoped.
  • Across the full range, from early-stage nonprofits navigating their first capital decision to established cultural institutions managing multimillion-dollar projects. Engagement tier is calibrated to project complexity, not organizational budget size.
  • Yes. The 30-minute call is complimentary. Its purpose is to understand your project and determine whether Pollen is the right fit, not to begin billable work. There is no obligation to proceed.
  • That's exactly what the scoping call is for. We'll ask about your project, timeline, and what decisions are on the table, then recommend the tier that fits the scope. You won't need to decide in advance.
