Experience matters, below are some examples of the work we have led, been actively engaged in, or currently involved in.

Lisa Schwartz
Chairman of the Board of Directors, North Star Reach

“Susan Gordon has a unique ability to communicate the heart of our work in a way that resonates with different audiences, from organizational leadership, staff, funders and partners. Key leaders within the organization have used SGG’s final report as a bible for

guidance as they move forward with next stages of growth. Many key decisions are now data driven thank you to the strategies learned during our project engagement. As a fairly new organization of 6 years old, the guidance given to us by SGG will help shape our approach well into the future. Bringing real business management strategies into the non-profit realm to help identify true paths to financial sustainability is an incredible outcome for all organizations that choose to work with SGG.”

“For nonprofits, financial sustainability and programmatic sustainability cannot be separated. It’s not enough for nonprofits to have a high-impact program if there’s no effective strategy for sustaining the organization financially. And neither is it enough to be financially stable: we build our organizations for impact, not financial stability.”

–Jeanne Bell, Jan Masaoka and Steve Zimmerman
