WE KNOW CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS INSIDE AND OUT.

LB Consulting partners with arts organizations, foundations, and civic nonprofits working toward a culturally vibrant, just society. We understand the unique financial, social, and operational pressures facing museums and nonprofit organizations, and help you navigate that complexity to turn your vision into lasting impact for the communities you serve.

How We Work

We work with mission-driven organizations to understand the landscape, align leaders and teams, build staff capacity, amplify fundraising, and communicate with impact. While a good strategy is key, a healthy culture is essential—and a great culture begins with mindful leaders who know how to be the change they wish to see in their organizations and in the world.

From strategic counsel and executive coaching to retreat facilitation and management training, LB Consulting tailors its offerings to advance your goals.
