Advice

 


 

We advise leading foundations, corporations, governments, and nonprofits on how to increase their social impact—offering experienced, data-driven counsel in four areas: strategy development, evaluation, organizational alignment, and corporate social responsibility.

Since our founding in 1999, FSG has helped numerous private foundations, community foundations, nonprofits, and corporations increase their social impact. Our clients are located throughout the United States, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, and have annual budgets ranging from less than $1 million to more than $1 billion. Our consulting work is characterized by:

  • A focus on impact. We offer practical solutions to help our clients realize their strategic goals.
  • An understanding of the social sector. Our consultants bring years of experience in working with philanthropic and social sector organizations.
  • Analytical rigor. We deliver work that meets or exceeds the standards of world-class management consulting firms.
  • Creativity and practicality. We strive to offer our clients innovative and realistic solutions.
  • A collaborative approach. We work closely with our clients at both the staff and board levels, as well as engaging the community, to ensure that all stakeholders participate in shaping the solution.
  • Client-specific solutions. We don't bring a fixed point-of-view or a “cookie cutter” methodology to our work—instead we develop recommendations that match the aspirations and skills of each individual client.
