Becoming a Client
Are you a leader in a Washington, DC area nonprofit organization that might be interested in engaging Hilltop Consultants for a pro bono consulting project? First step: let us know!
We are a student organization and don’t pretend to be anything else. We are committed to honestly presenting our capabilities and interests to all of our potential clients so our members never find themselves faced with a project they cannot handle and your organization doesn’t find itself with an incomplete or unsuccessful project on its hands. That said, we are uninterested in projects that don’t challenge our members with finding creative, strategic solutions that will have a meaningful impact on your organization.
So - you’ve got a nonprofit organization and a project. We have a group of talented students that cannot wait to volunteer their time so they can learn more about your business and build their experience and skills. We encourage all interested clients to contact us so we can discuss launching the kind of project that would help build both your organization and the skills of our members.
Hilltop Consultants seeks clients year-round to begin projects in the late summer and early winter to be completed during the fall and spring academic semesters.
To be considered for a project, please email us at President@HilltopConsultants.org.
Your Insurance Policy
You’re a professional. We’re students. Why should you trust an important project in our hands?
Georgetown students working on Hilltop Consultants projects are not acting alone. Far from it, each project team is headed by a Project Manager, selected for his or her experience and skills related to the task at hand and all teams undergo extensive training to help tackle your problems. These training sessions will be provided by both Georgetown Professors, experienced in consulting, and leading consulting firms. Each team is also supported by the combined knowledge and expertise of the Hilltop Consultants Leadership Board.
At no point is your organization’s project more than short walk across campus away from truly expert advice. We are students and at no point claim to provide a service that rivals that of any truly professional strategy firm. We do, however, provide a service that is accessible to even the most cash-strapped nonprofit organizations in our community.

What can I expect from the Project Team by the end of the semester?
A detailed presentation addressing the pressing issues of your organization as well as deliverables containing all the research done by the Project Team. A core aspect of the presentation and deliverables is to create strategies of how you may implement the research completed by the Project Teams.
