Approach

Public Goods Group is a mission-driven consultancy firm committed to partnering with organizations striving to strengthen their impact within their communities. With special concern for the most in need of support, we use data and community input to build systems that achieve equitable and sustainable solutions for our clients and those they serve.

We always work with three goals in mind: 

  • Demonstrable impact 
  • Sustainability 
  • Win-wins 
 
We are active listeners, using both numbers and voices to create a comprehensive understanding of the challenges we’re here to help you solve. We rather show than tell and often we deploy visual platforms to demonstrate what the data says. From there, we help you identify your priorities and then set to the task of establishing how we’ll rise to the work collectively before us.
