Overview
Founded in 2000, Foundation Strategy Group (FSG) has authored several of the more important papers on philanthropic practice in the last decade. In recent years FSG has expanded dramatically, and in 2011 the organization launched its new Strategic Learning and Evaluation Center, the first entity designed to bring together the skill sets of evaluation and management consulting. FSG's work explores three core areas beyond Evaluation: social sector strategy, cross-sector collaborations, and the role of business in creating positive social impact. This grant would support FSG's research in these core areas, while enabling exploration of new issue areas as they arise.
