For years, our organizational work has paid the bills, allowing us to offer low-cost, reduced cost, and free community programs that provide critical support to individuals and groups. But that model is no longer sustainable. Many organizations—especially small, grassroots rights defenders doing essential work on the front lines—simply can’t afford the full cost of our services. At the same time, stretched budgets across the sector mean we can no longer count on consistent organizational work to sustain our operations.
Here’s the truth: unless we make this fundraiser a success, we will face difficult decisions. We may need to raise prices, reduce the number of low-cost spots available, or—in the worst-case scenario—shutter our community programs entirely. That’s not just a loss for Lumos; it’s a loss for every individual and organization that relies on these programs to heal, grow, and sustain their work.

A Win-Win Opportunity
This is where you come in. Your support creates a win-win:
- You keep Lumos going, ensuring that we remain a resource for thousands of people navigating stress and trauma.
- You directly benefit the grassroots rights organizations that rely on our accessible programs to stabilize and recover, reduce burnout, and build stronger, more sustainable teams.
Together, we can ensure that the people fighting for justice have the resources they need to keep going.
How Project Roadmap Makes an Impact
Rights defenders are extraordinary. They bring fierce, unwavering energy to advance justice and create liberatory futures for all of us. But without tools to stabilize and recover, this fight energy often leads to burnout, internal conflict, and the loss of hard-won progress.
Project Roadmap equips organizations with resilience practices to:
- Stabilize fight energy and reduce burnout
- Address internal tensions and build sustainable relationships
- Create pathways to focus fully on advancing justice and liberation
By supporting Project Roadmap, you’re not just helping Lumos—you’re ensuring that rights defenders have the resources to continue their vital work.
