Overview
Founded in 2000, FSG is a leading social sector consulting firm and producer/disseminator of knowledge on nonprofit and philanthropic practice.

FSG has expanded substantially in recent years and now organizes its knowledge work in four areas: (1) collective impact, (2) catalytic philanthropy, (3) shared value (business pursuit of profit and social benefit), and (4) strategic learning and evaluation. FSG has recently developed standalone initiatives for collective impact and shared value to further drive their reach and more effectively bridge from theory to application in practice.
