Okay, let’s tackle this. So Katie Kessler has a range of skills, but most are in non-profit or community work. Fundraising and event planning are in demand, but the rates vary widely depending on the organization and location. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, event planners in the Baltimore area can earn around $40,000–$60,000 per year. Considering her skills, I’ll estimate an hourly rate around $40, which is on the lower end. However, this is a reasonable starting point for someone with her experience and skills.
