Lisa Scott

For more than 25 years, Lisa Scott has partnered with more than fifty of the world's finest and most prestigious nonprofits—City Year, Civic News Company, Facing History & Ourselves, Share Our Strength, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and The Nature Conservancy, to name a few.

She's seen what works and doesn't work in fundraising and codified the best approach to raising six and seven-figure gifts in her book, The Transformational Giving Playbook™. From scaling an individual donor's gift from $25K to $1M, to doubling the number of major donors at a nonprofit, to growing revenue by 28% in 15 months, to unifying the fundraising business processes across a $100M federated organization, Lisa know what it takes to unlock an organization's fundraising potential.

Lisa's journey started at Andersen, where her heart was most drawn to nonprofit organizations doing mission-driven work. That pull led her to The Nature Conservancy, where she served as Director of Systems Applications. In 2002, Lisa co-founded Barker & Scott Consulting, a premier firm dedicated to helping nonprofits harness the power of people, process, technology, and data for mission and fundraising success. In 2024, she founded TGP Consulting to focus exclusively on teaching and implementing The Transformational Giving Playbook™.

It is Lisa's life's work to help nonprofits working toward a just, equitable, and sustainable world to raise more money to do more good.
