About us

As a mission-driven nonprofit or social enterprise, you are rich in ideas for solving the problems facing the world. But do you ever find your work just a little...overwhelming?

Your Board is desperate to diversify your funding base, but nobody knows where to start. Earned revenue, impact investing, social investment bonds: you wonder which, if any, of these should matter to you. At the end of the week, do you feel like a hamster on a wheel, not sure if all those urgent tasks that claimed your attention add up to any real progress toward your goals?

Allow us to show you the light at the end of the tunnel.

We delight in helping organizations move from where they are to where they want to be with strategic planning and business planning that will energize rather than exhaust you. We grow budgets with smart fundraising strategy. And we ease the pressure on stressed-out fundraisers with turnkey grantwriting services.

In addition to crackerjack credentials, all consultants in the Lumenos network share a passion for productive, honest engagements and a lively interest in the space that is emerging between traditional philanthropy and social capital markets.
