Most consulting engagements begin around $1,500, with larger strategy and systems projects typically ranging from $2,500–$5,000+ depending on scope. Smaller standalone services, workshops, editing projects, and Communications Checkups are available at lower starting points.

A Communications Checkup is a starting point for figuring out what feels unclear, overloaded, inconsistent, or harder than it should be. We look at what is happening now, where the friction is showing up, and what kind of support would actually make the work easier.

JJ Holmes Communications helps nonprofits and mission-driven organizations clarify their message, strengthen the systems behind their work, and adopt new tools thoughtfully. Services include communications strategy, content and digital communications, organizational systems, human-centered AI support, writing and editing, event and campaign communications, and training.

Work begins after the scope is agreed upon, the written agreement is accepted, and the required initial payment has been received.

That’s exactly what the Communications Checkup is for. We’ll look at what’s working, where communication is breaking down, and what deserves attention first before jumping into a larger project.

I primarily work with nonprofits, community organizations, advocacy groups, churches and faith-based organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and other mission-driven teams. I also continue to work with writers and authors on select editing and communications projects.

Most JJHC work is priced by project or engagement, not by the hour. That keeps the focus on the scope, strategy, and outcome rather than simply purchasing blocks of time.

JJHC can support the communications side of fundraising, including case-for-support messaging, donor communications, campaign materials, website content, and supporter journeys. JJHC does not provide fundraising management, fiscal sponsorship placement, nonprofit legal/compliance services, or financial development consulting.

For larger projects, yes. Payment schedules are established in the written agreement before work begins. Projects generally require an initial payment to reserve the engagement and begin work.

Yes. Ongoing support can be scoped after the initial needs are clear. Retainer-style engagements typically begin around $1,250/month, depending on responsibilities and volume.

Absolutely. Communication problems are often symptoms of something deeper: unclear roles, overloaded workflows, scattered information, inconsistent decision-making, or too much work resting on one person. Part of my work is helping identify those underlying systems issues instead of simply producing more content on top of them.

Yes. I help organizations explore AI in ways that support people rather than replace judgment, creativity, or responsibility. That can include practical adoption, workflow design, training, communications use cases, and thinking through how new tools fit into existing systems.

Yes. Writing, editing, proofreading, and author services remain part of JJ Holmes Communications. They now sit within a broader communications practice rather than being the entire focus of the business.

Yes. Training can be developed around communications, Canva and visual communication, organizational systems, human-centered AI, writing, and related topics. Workshops can be adapted for organizations, teams, or community groups.

Yes. I can help with website messaging, content structure, user flow, basic site support, brand consistency, SEO-conscious copy, and making sure the site tells a clear story. For highly technical development needs, I may recommend working with a specialized developer.

Yes. Many projects can be handled remotely through video calls, email, shared documents, and collaborative tools.

Start by requesting a Communications Checkup and telling me what feels messy right now. I’ll review what you share and follow up with next steps.

Yes, as long as the organization has the structure, decision-making authority, and budget needed for the communications work being requested. JJHC can help communicate and strengthen an existing organizational structure, but does not replace legal, financial, fundraising, or operational specialists.
