A consultancy devoted to moving your mission forward.

Services
We will partner closely with you to understand your organization’s unique strengths and needs, and to develop solutions that are tailored to your specific context.
Research and Planning
In organizations, as in life, a solid foundation can make all the difference. You can rely on SFG Strategies to listen deeply and help propel you forward via strategic planning, development of theories of change and logic models, landscape assessments, and feasibility analyses. Our deliverables are actionable road maps for achieving your goals.
Partnerships, Fundraising, and Organizational Development
Both internal and external stakeholder engagement are crucial to any organization’s goals vis-à-vis developing authentic partnerships and fundraising. SFG Strategies can capably engage your team, board, clients, funders, investors, and broader community to advance organizational development, fund development, and capitalization. By recognizing shared values, we build trust and deliver needed results. We have raised more than $100 million for clients through grants, donations, and impact investments.
Project Design, Management, and Evaluation
We are problem solvers at heart, both data driven and creative. Projects, programs, and organizations we have conceived and led have been featured in The Washington Post, on NPR, and the like. SFG Strategies also can oversee implementation, and manage the evaluation process — from developing an impact evaluation strategy to creating measurement tools and leading analysis. This work is inclusive of funded projects / programs, as well as funders’ grant-making initiatives.
Marketing and Communications
Tying together much of a purpose-driven organization’s work is communication. When strategically developed and deftly executed, communications command attention and inspire action. We are skilled with brand and identity development and website creation, as well as producing distinctive and resonant annual impact reports, cases of support, and periodic communications.
Our clients are our partners.
We share with our clients a genuine commitment to making a concrete and lasting impact on the most underestimated and underserved individuals and communities.
Whether food systems, community development finance, or other industries within the social impact and nonprofit space, SFG Strategies has the skills, subject matter expertise, and care to thoughtfully partner with you to achieve your vision. We are invested in the outcomes you seek and work to achieve nothing less than transformational results.
