Just like any other business, NGOs rely on the expertise of skilled individuals to fulfill essential needs. Even at a small nonprofit, specialists are needed for IT tasks, grant applications, and practical daily needs.

\
These organizations also tend to rely on donations, which often equates to a fluctuating and unpredictable income, sometimes making it difficult to hire new full-time staff members. Generous volunteers make a huge difference, but paid staff are essential in completing many of these tasks.

\
Sometimes a need to prioritize certain projects over others can lead to missed opportunities for growth and development. Nonprofit teams are often stretched and need to wear many hats in order to make the daily essentials happen.

\
One way to achieve goals and get access to expertise when working with a small team is to hire freelance experts when your team doesn't have the time or expertise to meet the needs of a certain project or goal.

\
In this post, we'll discuss the benefits of hiring freelancers at your nonprofit through Fiverr, a leading platform for hiring project-based professionals for just about any job you can think of.

## How Freelancers Can Help

Whether it's a marketing strategy, IT setup tasks, financial management, or a one-off design project, there are freelancers ready to bring their expertise to an organization that needs it. Here are just a few ways that hiring freelancers can benefit your nonprofit.

### Reduce Costs

Simply hiring experts as and when you need them is often less expensive than recruiting permanent staff members.

\
For short-term projects where the time and expertise of your team are stretched, it can be quicker and more cost-effective to look for a freelancer who can be there when you need them.

\
You will not have to go through the process of hiring and training a whole new staff member. When funds are tight, outsourcing an extra pair of hands can make all the difference.

### Increase Flexibility

The needs of many nonprofits are constantly changing. You might need different content channels and styles, different activities to serve your clients, or different technology you choose to invest in.

\
By hiring freelancers, you can bring in the expertise you need when you need it.

\
In each case, you can assess where the gaps in time and expertise are in your team and hire someone accordingly.

### Focus More on Core Activities

By outsourcing experts when you need them, you'll take the pressure off your team to work on tasks they aren't qualified or prepared for. This means that they can put their time and energy into the areas where they are experts, bringing in extra help where it is needed.
