Private & Family Foundations

FSG helps private foundations maximize their social impact by charting strategies that creatively match a foundation's aspirations and capabilities with effective interventions in important societal problems.

Private foundations' strength and independence enable them to take on some of society's most complex challenges. Immune from political forces, market pressures, and the necessity of fundraising, foundations are extraordinarily well-positioned to achieve long-term social impact. FSG's thought leadership on strategy, our practical experience working with private foundations, and our depth of programmatic experience in such areas as global health and education, uniquely qualify us as a strategic advisor. Our strategy and implementation services for private foundations include:

• Foundation strategy and positioning. Where and how can our foundation make the greatest difference?
• Program strategy. How can we set clear goals and design effective program strategies?
• Adaptive leadership. How can we maximize our social impact through innovative approaches to leadership?
• Strategic communication. How do we use communications to further our strategy?
