What We Do
Public Goods Group works with hospitals and health systems, governments, companies and corporations, nonprofits, and funders and grantors. Some of what we do is specific to a particular kind of organization. A lot of it is not. What is always true is that every client we take on is our client, and we are just as invested in their success as we are in the communities they serve. If you are not sure where you fit, start with what you are trying to solve.
The hardest problems in community health and economic opportunity don’t come with easy answers. We partner with the organizations closest to those problems to build strategies grounded in data, shaped by context, and designed to hold up in the real world.
For hospitals and health systems, the hospital is only as strong as its relationship with the community around it. We help you design community benefit programs that meet real needs, get your financial assistance policy right before it becomes a source of medical debt, and document the work so the story on paper matches the work on the ground.

For nonprofits, good work deserves good infrastructure. We help nonprofits build the strategy, programs, and internal structure they need to do their work well, from getting clear on direction and securing the right funding to designing programs and proving the impact that keeps them going.

For governments and policy, what a bill says and what it actually does are not always the same thing. We help you spot unintended consequences before they surface, read between the lines on what is really driving a piece of legislation, and build strategies that hold up through the political process. We also help turn funding and data into programs that serve communities instead of just satisfying a reporting requirement. See how we can support your work here.
For grantors and grantees, money tied to impact is never simple. Whether you are deploying it or competing for it, you need clear priorities, systems that hold up under pressure, and a way to know if it is actually working. We help funders build smarter programs and measure what matters, and we help grantees find the right opportunities, build programs that can actually deliver, and make the case for what comes next.
