Frequently Asked Questions

Spur Impact affiliates can now receive on-demand HR support from our new partner, Blackwell HR. Whether it’s hiring, compliance, payroll, or tough conversations, expert HR guidance is just a call or click away.

As a Spur Impact affiliate, you now have exclusive access to Blackwell HR’s HR as a Service (HRaaS) Membership Model — giving you dedicated HR support that most nonprofits and independent operators don’t typically have. From compliance and hiring to conflict resolution and culture-building, Blackwell HR helps you manage your team with confidence and protect your nonprofit from costly risks.

With expert guidance just a call away, you’ll save time, reduce stress, and focus on what you do best — advancing your mission.

  • Instead of one-off projects or expensive retainers, Blackwell HR’s HR as a Service (HRaaS) offers proactive, ongoing HR support through an annual membership model. Members also receive discounted rates on custom HR projects, depending on their tier.

  • Nonprofits without a dedicated HR team — or those with limited HR capacity — benefit most. HRaaS provides practical guidance, templates, and compliance tools to help you confidently manage employees, policies, and regulations.

  • No problem! Blackwell HR can augment your existing HR team, providing strategic insights, specialized expertise, and extra capacity when you need it.

  • Examples include hiring best practices, handling performance issues, navigating multi-state compliance, or responding to employment law changes. HRaaS ensures your nonprofit stays compliant and well-prepared.

  • Membership covers guidance and standard templates. Custom HR design work (e.g., benefits planning, performance management redesign, payroll setup) and workplace investigations require separate contracts.

  • Members receive alerts and resources on federal, state, and local employment regulations — including policy updates, training requirements, wage changes, EEOC deadlines, and more — plus access to an annual compliance calendar.
