Nonprofit strategy, governance & development — built to last.
Tomorrow by Design helps Los Angeles nonprofits under $1M build the board governance, development strategy, and organizational capacity to grow sustainably — without depending on borrowed funder relationships.
Built for lean teams doing essential work.
Tomorrow by Design is a consulting practice built for Los Angeles nonprofits with annual budgets under $1 million — organizations doing essential work with lean teams and high expectations.
What makes us different: we do not bring outside funders to an engagement. Our development work is built around strengthening the organization's own capacity — helping boards and staff understand the depth, giving history, and untapped potential of their existing donor base, then building a funding strategy around that foundation. Organizations leave stronger and more self-sufficient, not dependent on a consultant's personal funder relationships.
Founded by three equal partners with shared, senior-level experience across nonprofit governance, development, and organizational strategy, Tomorrow by Design brings full-spectrum expertise to every engagement — not one generalist wearing three hats.
If your organization is ready to build the structure, strategy, and donor capacity to grow sustainably, we'd like to talk.

Three interconnected areas of work.
Governance
Board development, governance structure, and succession planning that gives boards the clarity and confidence to lead.
Capacity
Strategic planning and sustainability work that positions organizations for growth beyond any single leader, campaign, or grant cycle.
Growth
Grants management, donor stewardship, major gifts, capital campaigns, special events, and government and corporate relations strategy.
No borrowed funders. No dependency.
Too many small nonprofits get one of two things from a consultant: a generic playbook that doesn't fit their size, or a fundraising "boost" that quietly depends on the consultant's own funder relationships — and disappears the day the engagement ends.
We build our work around the capacity an organization already has: deepening the board's understanding of its own donor base, and building a funding strategy on that foundation — not on ours.
Three partners. Full‑spectrum expertise.
