I’m Lydia, founder and owner of Lydia Lynn Strategies, a nonprofit fundraising coach, and your new ally in moving your nonprofit forward.

I’m here to help move your nonprofit forward with growth strategies for sustainable funding. After spending more than seven years in various roles at small to medium-sized nonprofit organizations, I founded Lydia Lynn Strategies because I noticed a common challenge: nonprofit leaders are deeply passionate about their mission but often struggle with the strategies behind and demands of fundraising, capacity building, and long-term strategic planning.

At Lydia Lynn Strategies, I work closely with you to understand your nonprofit’s unique challenges and develop tailored strategies that enhance your organization’s capacity. Whether it’s one-on-one fundraising and strategy coaching, providing done-for-you grant research and writing, facilitating strategic planning sessions, or conducting wellness audits, my goal is to help move your mission forward.

I truly enjoy getting to know my clients personally, as it allows me to serve you better. Your success is my priority, and I’m committed to helping your organization thrive!
