Nice To Meet You.
Picture this - a cozy office in the heart of Upstate New York, where ideas flow and laughter fills the air. That's Lynndora Consulting. We aren't your average consultancy; we are two passionate souls with a shared love for nonprofits and the fantastic work they do for their communities.
Our story began years ago when two strangers were asked to share an office. Countless conversations, ideas, cups of coffee, and even a few tears later, we are dedicated friends who decided to shake things up and create something extraordinary. With over two decades of experience in fundraising, nonprofit strategy, marketing, and communications under our belts, we've seen it all, from challenges to triumphs, and every moment in between.
So, here's the deal—we are here to turn your nonprofit dreams into a reality. We are not big on fancy jargon or formalities—just authentic conversations, creative solutions, and a whole lot of heart. Because at Lynndora, we are driven by a firm belief in making a difference, one unique idea at a time.
