We serve you.
So you can serve your mission.

Our goal is to empower nonprofits. At Lumity, we understand how nonprofits work. We are a nonprofit — and we serve nonprofits. For nearly 30 years, we have worked successfully to help nonprofits organizations address a wide range of key issues.

Making an Impact

What kind of challenges can we help you and your nonprofit meet? Think about those everyday issues that your organization faces – issues like making your financial systems work, getting the most out of your technology and finding the right person when you want to hire someone to fill an important position. We often hear how nonprofits face challenges in these areas — but clearly need to address them so they can focus on what’s most important: fulfilling their mission.

That’s where we step in. We have years of experience in each of these areas, and a track record of positive results. Lumity also provides a myriad of affordable trainings and classes that are designed to meet the needs of nonprofits.

Key programs and services

Lumity offers:

• Financial Services: Our team of staff and financial consultants helps nonprofits navigate financial issues through affordable routine maintenance, assessing and recommending software, audit and tax preparation and in many other ways.
• Technology Solutions: Lumity works closely with nonprofits to address technology issues, often starting with an assessment that helps organizations prioritize next steps – and then take action. Lumity’s Technology Solutions also partners with nonprofits to transform data (for example, if it needs to be moved or cleaned) and design their own websites. Again, our services are very affordable.
• NPO.net: Lumity’s NPO.net is a job board for nonprofits – both nonprofit employers who post job notices on the site and jobseekers. NPO.net is a targeted, easy-to-use site that provides users with information about specific jobs and how to apply.
• Trainings and Classes: Lumity offers a broad range of trainings in classes in key areas like financial services and technology. In addition, a variety of other classes address relevant topics like personal growth, productivity, networking and more. Our trainings and classes are discounted for Lumity members.

Lumity: Connecting Nonprofits

Lumity encompasses a broad vision of the nonprofit sector. While we provide specific services to nonprofits, we also serve as a hub for nonprofits, a place that connects people and organizations, and serves as a center of activity. We work closely with nonprofits, volunteers and donors. Every month, our Roundtable provides a forum for nonprofit executives to share and receive feedback about what is happening in their organization.

Lumity helps nonprofit organizations fulfill their mission through technology, financial support services, trainings and through npo.net, a staffing resource for Chicago’s nonprofit and philanthropic community.
