Sound Familiar?

These are the patterns we see in every engagement. They're fixable — if you know where to look.

THE REALITY

You're stuck. Here's why.

📉

Revenue Stalled

Donor retention hit 42.9% in 2024 — a 5-year low. Most sustainer programs lose 20-30% of revenue to payment failures. You're raising more but retaining less. Every year feels like starting over. Our donor retention strategy guide and monthly giving playbook walk through the fix. Fix retention →

🔥

Leadership Gap

Your CDO or COO just left. The average development director vacancy lasts six months (CompassPoint, 2013). Revenue is at risk. You can't afford a 6-month search. Leadership transitions are our specialty. Fractional CDO →

📊

Forecasting Guesswork

36% of nonprofits ran deficits in 2024 — highest in a decade. Your board wants predictability. You're presenting guesses. Confidence is eroding. Use our revenue forecasting tools to model scenarios.

⚙️

Operations Fractured

Development, finance, data, and compliance don't talk. Nothing is aligned. Our nonprofit revenue operations guide shows how to rebuild cross-functional systems. Fix operations →

😰

Team Overwhelmed

75% of nonprofits have job vacancies. 95% of nonprofit leaders express some concern about burnout, with 34% calling it significant (CEP, 2024). Your staff is drowning. Turnover is high. You're losing institutional knowledge. Get help →

💸

Rising Costs, No Gains

Channel costs keep climbing. Donor value isn't improving. ROI is negative. Acquisition costs are outrunning retention gains. Monthly giving optimization directly addresses this. Monthly giving →

You don't need more strategy decks. You need execution.

We've done this before.

PROVEN OPERATOR

What we've actually done

LFG Group isn't consultants who advise from the sideline. We're operators who've run the departments you're trying to fix.

Paul Moriarty, LFG Group founder, at his workspace with podcast microphone

Led $50M+ development operations across 501(c)(3), (c)(4), and PAC — with zero compliance issues. Designed zero-based budgeting frameworks and multi-entity governance systems. Case study →

Monthly giving program went from never recouping acquisition cost to 55% ROI per cohort at year 5 through a deliberate donor lifetime value strategy and retention-focused redesign. Achieved 1% forecasting accuracy across a $23M annual program. Case study →

CDO departed in November. Retained 100% of the team and delivered +10% December income growth. This is what interim executive leadership looks like under fire. Case study →

Built the largest in-house canvass program in the U.S. — 400+ staff across 17 offices. One process change drove $3M more per 5-year cycle. Learn more about face-to-face fundraising strategy at The Canvass. Case study →
