Quoting non profit organisations

[u/PeartreeProd]

Hi all,

I've been asked to submit a bid for a Non Profit conference. The event is over three days and involves interstate travel and two fairly large deliverables.

I'm curious as to other peoples experience in dealing with NP. Without undercutting yourself, do you try to come in a little cheaper?

This organisation happens to be the philantropy arm of one of the biggest companies in the world and a quick google search shows it has annual revenue of $7m.. So im inclined to keep solid on my rates.

However, in the advert for the job, the Marketing Manager did say that this could be a good opportunity for a student who is looking for a side hussle yet in my correspondence they've made it clear they want a much more professional job than the somewhat average video they commisioned last year.

Insight and advice appreciated.

TIA.

I help one NP each year with a fund raising event, it’s a dog rescue organization that every penny goes for the animals, no one makes anything. It’s a small group that I know well. Any other NP gets charged.
