Across New York, California, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Pennsylvania and beyond, we advance the nonprofit sector by forging more meaningful and long lasting donor and volunteer relationships.

"LSC was truly the secret sauce to our success. They brought a level of structure and rigor to our fundraising approach that completely transformed the way we operated. We followed their guidance like it was our playbook—and it worked. We exceeded our fundraising goal by $2 million.

LSC not only helped us design and implement a winning strategy, but also hired, onboarded, and trained the team I led. Their coaching helped us master every part of the fundraising process—from weekly activity reports and moves management to role playing solicitations and refining our language. We prepped thoroughly for every ask, including running ‘the meeting before the meeting.’

Because of LSC, I became a stronger leader and a more confident fundraiser. Our team became a high-performing machine, and the results speak for themselves."

“I had the privilege of working with Lindsay Simonds and was impressed by her infectious enthusiasm, intelligence, and most of all, her commitment to the non-profits she served. The immeasurable impact she had on organizations like UCSF and the March of Dimes goes far beyond the funds she raised for these institutions. She is a true leader in the sense that she sets an example for others and generously supports and encourages everyone around her. I would love to work with Lindsay again and strongly encourage anyone who is considering a major fundraising initiative to do the same! ”

“Lindsay is one of the most committed and dedicated fundraising professionals I have encountered in recent years. Her passion for helping nonprofits to develop their fundraising skills was quite obvious in a seminar workshop she spearheaded at the The Sanford Institute of Philanthropy | John F. Kennedy University. Her presentation was so well received that the seminar participants asked for another opportunity to meet and work with her. Lindsay is sharp and organized and she has the ability to convey and communicate clearly complex concepts and trends in fundraising. One of her outstanding strengths as a consultant is in helping nonprofits develop a thoughtful, step-by-step, robust fundraising plan. Lindsay and the company she works for, CCS, are huge resources for the nonprofit community in the San Francisco Bay Area Region. I look forward to engaging Lindsay in more professional development opportunities.”
