Lior Spring
Founder & Principal
Lior has been the executive who ran the organization, the fundraiser who raised the money, the communicator who told the story, the chair who governed it, and the grantmaker who decided where the money went.
Lior Spring has spent more than two decades in nonprofit work, across executive leadership, fundraising, communications, programming, grantmaking, and family philanthropy. Her career spans New York City and Jacksonville, Florida, and it has put her on both sides of nearly every conversation a nonprofit leader has to have: asking for the money, deciding where it goes, and answering for the results.
Her view of why organizations struggle is a plain one: leading well takes high emotional intelligence, and it also takes being incredibly organized and diligent. Most organizations have one without the other.
