NationBuilder Consulting
Get more out of NationBuilder without the guesswork.
NationBuilder is a powerful platform, but most organizations are either only using a fraction of what it can do, or fighting a setup that was never configured well to begin with. I help nonprofits, campaigns, and advocacy groups build a NationBuilder instance that's clean, reliable, and actually built around how they work.
The Approach
NationBuilder that works for you.
NationBuilder consulting at TIA Consulting is about more than configuration. It's about making sure your instance reflects how your organization actually operates. That means clean data, logical workflows, a website that represents you well, and a team that knows how to use the platform with confidence.
I've worked with nonprofits, campaigns, and advocacy organizations at different stages, from brand-new NationBuilder users to organizations that have been on the platform for years and accumulated a tangled mess they're not sure how to fix. Wherever you are, the goal is always a NationBuilder instance you can trust.

The Process
What working on NationBuilder together looks like.
Every NationBuilder engagement is built around the same principle: no surprises, and no setups your team can't maintain.
-
01
Discovery Call
We talk through your organization, your goals on NationBuilder, and what's working or not working in your current setup.
-
02
Platform Audit
I do a thorough review of your NationBuilder instance — or, for new organizations, a review of your existing data and workflows before we build anything.
-
03
Strategy & Planning
Based on the audit, we agree on a clear plan: what gets built, in what order, and why.
-
04
Build & Configure
I handle the hands-on work of configuration, data cleanup, theme development, and workflow setup, and then share progress at key milestones.
-
05
Training & Handoff
Your team gets a live training session, full documentation, and a 30-day window for follow-up questions.
Is this right for you?
NationBuilder support for the right organizations.
A good fit if…
- You're a nonprofit, campaign, or advocacy organization using (or planning to use) NationBuilder
- Your NationBuilder instance feels messy, confusing, or underused
- Your team is afraid to touch certain parts of the platform
- Data quality is a problem due to duplicates, bad tags, unreliable lists
- You want your team to actually understand the platform after we're done
May not be the right fit if…
- You're not willing to invest in cleaning up data before building on top of it
- The root cause of your data problems is how data gets collected, and that's not something you're open to addressing
- You can't provide access to DNS and domain settings...email deliverability work requires it
- You want someone to hand you a finished product without involving your team in the process
- You're looking for the lowest possible price regardless of quality or outcomes
