About Us
We believe that fundraising success flows from two things - informed leadership aligned with a sound strategy – and this is where the members of the Lotus Consulting Team
dedicate their efforts. We tap the innate wisdom of your organization to customize solutions. We take the time to get it right.
Why Lotus?
The Lotus flower represents a symbol of fortune. It grows in muddy water and it is this very environment that gives forth the flowers most literal meaning: rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment. This accurately describes many of the nonprofits and their leaders we have the privilege to serve - pure in intention, a mission and vision often born out of misfortune or injustice and if cultivated, can bring something sacred, beautiful, and compassionate to the world.
This depth of spirit combined with sound business practices and strategic leadership are the essence of the Lotus brand and guides the Lotus Consulting Team in putting people and organizations in the path of money.
Our credo - to balance mission with margin to unleash possibilities - speaks to our deep expertise in both the for profit and nonprofit sectors. It is not enough to just dream, to have a "worthy" mission, leaders must strategically organize themselves to put forth a big idea that inspires investment. Through this combination, anything is possible.
