There are so many incredible people working in the democracy, bridging, dialogue and related spaces. The unfortunate truth is that the field is underfunded and many don't have the luxury of having full time employment or have chosen to go all-in on consulting. We are looking for 10 to 15 such people to form the core of Mediators Affiliate Consultants. Mediators Foundation has a long history of consulting, but now it's time to build off that legacy - let's build THE democracy consultancy together. We believe that while solopreneurs can do great things, we can expand our impact and the services we can offer by having group projects. You still keep your individual brand, but get to add to it the 40 year legacy and reputation of Mediators Foundation to seek work. Please share what we need to know about you as we launch this new initiative. 
Here's what to expect:
- We will convene the Affiliates
 - Affiliates will determine the core services in partnership with Mediators and identify market opportunities.
 - The group will work to establish lean systems to identify and partner on work, along with getting to know and trust each other.
 - Mediators Foundation will provide insurance for Mediators related projects along with highlighting the great work of consultants.
 - Because these will be Mediators' fiscally sponsored projects, there will be a 15% administrative fee associated with work. For context, most traditional consulting firms retain 50 to 67% of a consultants' billable rates. We are happy to work with consultants to identify how to best cover the fee in projects.
