What our clients are saying...

Impressed by their extensive background in nonprofit fundraising, I hired Barbara Stevenson and Rachael Grossman to assist our nonprofit organization in developing a fundraising plan to launch our next stage of growth. They exhibited all of the qualities you want in consultants: strategic thinkers, pro-active and direct communicators, and very organized and hard working. They helped our team clarify our vision and build out an operational business plan to support it. They move seamlessly between creative, big-picture thinking and detail-oriented, practical planning. What’s more, they bring a positive attitude and sense of humor to their projects that makes them fun to work with.

—Andrée Sosler, former Executive Director

Barbara is an impressive strategist and a fabulous writer. She is also a joy to work with: flexible, creative, and fun."

Every once in a while you have an opportunity to work with a professional whose dedication to excellence inspires you. I have had the honor to work with such an individual. Through my service as a member of the AFP Golden Gate Chapter Board of Directors I worked with fellow board member, Barbara Stevenson of Lumenos LLC. I experienced firsthand Barbara’s mastery of analysis, strategic thinking, oral and written communications, and group facilitation. Without hesitation I recommend Barbara and her consulting team to work with any nonprofit seeking to raise the bar on their organizational effectiveness.
