Mission

SGS Consulting promotes social justice and community empowerment through philanthropy, school improvement and organisational development to create a more equitable and inclusive society.

SGS Consulting's involvement in fiscal hosting forms part of its support for organisations such as social movements or network organisations that often do not receive funding because they lack the financial and administrative capabilities or profile to attract support or start-up NGOs with seasoned staff but without the proper systems and policies. It also supports organisations in transition (e.g. African Grantmakers Network to African Philanthropy Network) with change management and organisational development services.

Africa Philanthropy Network, African Venture Philanthropy Alliance, Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment, City University of New York, Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation, Ford Foundation Resource Hub, Kagiso Trust, WINGS

SGS Consulting supports start-ups needing to build their profile and reputation, social movements or community-based organisations with proof of concept and organisations or networks in transition that require both organisational development services and fiscal hosting arrangements. Organisations under investigation for mismanagement or with reputational challenges are not eligible.
