They combine consulting services with research and original thinking to develop insights, frameworks, and tools. FSG’s knowledge work spans five approaches: (a) collective impact, (b) catalytic philanthropy, (c) shared value (business pursuit of profit and social benefit), (d) strategic evaluation, and (e) inclusive markets (business models that create new opportunities and better lives for the global poor). This grant is for general operating support as part of the Knowledge for Better Philanthropy strategy.
for general operating support
FSG continues to drive some of the most important conversations about the practice of social change. The January 2011 cover story of the Harvard Business Review was co-written by the organization's founders, Mark Kramer and Michael Porter, and offers a new way to think about cross-sector collaboration. During a time of significant expansion and growth at FSG, the Hewlett Foundation has offered general operating support to the organization. The investment has paid off with the launch of FSG's new Strategic Learning and Evaluation Center, the first entity designed to bring together the skill sets of evaluation and management consulting.
