EXPERTISE IN STRATEGIC CONSULTANCY, FUNDRAISING & TRAINING
We love working with people and organisations who are full of bright ideas about creating social change, but need some expert support.
Lime Green Consulting was born in response to the challenges that our Director, Mike Zywina, experienced in previous fundraising and leadership roles. These include the pressure to quickly replenish income in a tough funding climate, the need for a focused fundraising strategy to make sense of the many opportunities and ideas out there, and the challenge of delivering results with a limited budget and risk-averse Board. Because we've experienced all these challenges first hand, we're experts at helping you to overcome them too.
Our team of charity consultants all bring their own specialist expertise in areas including trusts and foundations, major donors and crowdfunding. As well as providing consultancy, we also deliver training courses in partnership with the Small Charities Coalition and the School for Social Entrepreneurs, and publish a range of fundraising resources and a regular blog.
