Lighthouse Services

Cornerstone Board Development
Lighthouse Counsel provides quality training and resources that help your board members serve more effectively and gain a more rewarding experience. From a one-time orientation to a board development plan, Lighthouse can craft a tailored program based on proven best practices, motivating and inspiring your volunteer leadership (and organization) to reach new heights.

InFocus Campaign Feasibility and Planning Study
An InFocus study will greatly increase the success of a proposed capital, endowment or comprehensive campaign. Lighthouse Counsel specializes in interviews that reveal a wealth of beneficial insights that will deepen relationships and make your organization stronger and more effective. The findings and recommendations from our feasibility study can yield a winning campaign that will infuse your organization with new focus, energy, resources and leadership.

GuideSteps Development Analysis and Planning
Lighthouse Counsel is uniquely equipped to help your organization identify benchmarks and create a roadmap to greater success. We conduct a 75-point evaluation that includes donor feedback and personal interviews with select staff and volunteer leaders, along with a thorough assessment of board perceptions—culminating in a development plan that will take your program to the next level.

PathWay Strategic Planning
At Lighthouse Counsel, we believe strategic planning is a process, not an event. A well-developed plan allows your organization to fulfill its potential and achieve its vision, aligning daily decisions with long-term goals. Our comprehensive planning process engages your board, donors and other constituencies, providing crucial feedback, raising organizational awareness, and promoting a strategic point of view. With focused counsel, we provide a dynamic process that can be completed within three to five months.
