Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jill has skills like event planning, marketing communications, program development, and research, which are in demand. She also has experience in non-profit work, which is often compensated lower than for-profit work. Location is North Dartmouth, MA, which is a smaller town. According to national averages, event planners and marketing professionals in the non-profit sector can charge around $50–$100 per hour. Considering Jill’s skills and experience, I’ll estimate her rate to be on the lower end of that range, around $75 per hour.
