Live It Learn It first partnered with Thread Strategies in 2018-19 to design a development plan for our organization. The experience was so positive that we have continued to engage with Thread on various projects ever since. Initially, they designed a comprehensive development plan, complete with timelines, responsibility areas, and donor stewardship pipelines. More recently, we relied on their expertise to hire a development director and structure our development team. Our leadership team also attended the "Threading it Together: Institute" in October 2023, which was instrumental in reimagining our communications and prioritizing our stewardship activities.

Thread's hands-on, personal approach effectively addresses immediate organizational needs while setting us up for future success. Their team is professional, personable, and brings a joyful energy to their work.

Thread Strategies has taught me that being an effective fundraiser doesn't require changing my personality. Instead, they showed me that fundraising is about sharing my joy and passion for LILI's mission and inviting others to join us on our journey. Thanks to Thread, we have cultivated a culture of philanthropy that will thrive for years to come.
