a New suite of

Consulting services Designed to Advance Your Grantmaking Goals

LM Strategies Consulting (LMS) is excited to introduce you to Bridgeway, our new suite of consulting services that manages the nuts and bolts of grantmaking for donor families, family foundations, and foundations with small staffs — and does so on a contractual basis.

At LMS, we believe that there are few things better than effective grantmaking, especially when your grants reflect smart strategy, a unique philanthropic identity, and deep focus on innovation and impact.

But, with over 20 years as a consulting firm focused on strategy, we’ve had a bird’s eye view to the struggles that donors and smaller philanthropies experience as you work to implement your grantmaking priorities.

Even with a fabulous strategic plan and best intentions, you can get stuck when staff members change; you are understaffed, work alone, or don’t have the right staff in place; or there just isn’t enough time to focus on the art of grantmaking in a way that fulfills your philanthropic goals.

No matter how great the plan is or how dedicated you are, it’s the strategy implementation that is often the ultimate differentiator.

Sometimes you just need flexible support to be successful.

This new offering aims to provide that bridge.

Part-time, contractual, fractional, transitional — whatever you want to call it — LMS will work with you to manage the nuts and bolts of a great grantmaking program, support your grantees, and help you be more effective along the way.
