When You’re Facing a Big Opportunity—and Big Questions—We’re the Team You Call

Nonprofit leaders come to us when the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t clear. Maybe you’re about to launch a campaign but don’t know where to start. Or you’re overwhelmed by staff turnover, underperforming fundraising strategies, or board disengagement.

You’re asking:

• “Can we raise this much money?” 
• “Do we have the right people and systems in place?” 
• “How do we grow our donor base without burning out our team?” 
• “What will it really take to go to the next level?” 

We get it. And we get it done.

With decades of experience and over $3.5 billion raised, LSC partners with nonprofits ready for transformational growth. We bring structure, momentum, and optimism to your biggest fundraising goals.

What We Help You Solve

1. You’re gearing up for a major campaign—but don’t have the roadmap.
   We design and manage capital and comprehensive campaigns that multiply your fundraising capacity. Our work turns bold goals into clear plans—and turns plans into dollars raised.
2. Your team is in flux—and you need experienced leadership now.
   We step in as interim development leaders: grant writers, major gift officers, campaign directors, or full executives. While you’re hiring or restructuring, we keep your fundraising on track and your donors engaged.
3. Your board or staff is unsure of their fundraising role—or actively avoiding it.
   We transform anxiety into action through energizing training, coaching, and tools like our High-Value Questions. Your team will leave with confidence, clarity, and connection to the mission.
4. You don’t know if your fundraising goals are realistic—or where your biggest opportunities lie.
   Our feasibility studies and fundraising assessments combine qualitative interviews with AI-informed data analysis, giving you the evidence and insight you need to move forward wisely.
5. You’re growing fast—but your fundraising strategy hasn’t kept up.
   We build tailored, scalable development plans to match your vision. From staffing and systems to donor pipelines and timelines, we help you build a shop that works as hard as you do.
