Strategic
Planning
Strategic Planning enables your team to think critically, adapt quickly, and execute decisively when conditions change--and they are ALWAYS changing. The process provides clarity, the ability to articulate your organization’s impact in our new era, and a clear yet nimble path to operationalize and scale your mission.
Grant Writing & Management
We bring experienced grant writing and strategy from creating proposals for local foundations to crafting large-scale, multi-sector collaborative federal grants. We also quantitatively assess your Grant Readiness.
Fundraising Strategy & Execution
Successful fund development (aka fundraising) co-exists with all aspects of your organization's health. We take a relationship-centered and data-driven approach that leverages all elements of your business.
Capital Campaigns
We design, manage, and lead capital campaigns from $5,000 to $50,000,000. Capital campaigns are not magic. They are an art, a discipline, and a process.
We love to envision and realize high-impact projects, especially in the arts and culture space.
Board Governance and Development
Activating an aligned, resourced, diverse Board of Directors for your organization is essential to governance and fund development. It is also highly time-consuming and often politically sticky. Let us help you navigate and leverage important relationships and roles, create and implement strategic plans.
Thought Leadership
As leaders in the non-profit, social impact and philanthropic space, we will continue to advocate for low-barrier philanthropy where funders, donors, community, and non-profit leaders sit at the table to solve problems collectively.
Client Testimonials
"Working with Lee Ann was transformative for me. I grew as a leader and was able to think through issues collaboratively to create solutions that worked. We activated my board of directors, organized a comprehensive fund development strategy. Then, we were able to continue to work one on one to implement our growth plan, measure the impact and continue meeting our community's needs by adding and funding specific programs."
