Areas of Practice


Operating, partnership, and financial strategies

 

LP Strategies partners with nonprofit leaders and their teams at key points in their organizations’ growth to help them design their operational, partnership, and financial models to capitalize on new opportunities and meet new challenges. LP Strategies then works with the leadership teams to develop business and financial plans to guide operations, collaboration, and attract investment.


Measuring and communicating progress and impact

 

Creating large scale positive social change — especially systemic change — takes time, and some types of social impact are easier to measure and communicate than others. Yet being able to track progress towards a goal is critical to knowing which activities are effective, and which are not. And being able to articulate that progress is critical to building support, and attracting funding and talent.

LP Strategies helps organizations and community partnerships connect activities to impact, develop effective measures of progress, and communicate progress and impact in ways that engage and inspire.


Investment strategy

 

Multi-pronged, collaborative approaches are necessary to solve complex problems — no single intervention or program will, on its own, overcome all the challenges that trap people in poverty or successfully address systemic racism, for example.

LP Strategies works with philanthropists to craft funding and engagement strategies that amplify the impact of each individual investment.
