How We Help Non-Profits Succeed
Strategic Planning
Executive Support
When your non-profit organization parts ways with an executive member, we can help you keep the ship afloat until a replacement is found.
Your organization benefits by keeping day-to-day operations in control without sacrificing long-term thinking, and you also get access to several experienced minds through one contract.
"A critical success factor for Volunteer Lethbridge this year has been our partnership with The Social Good Co. Our relationship has resulted in a successful execution of National Volunteer Week, identification of strategic organizational priorities, and development of new relationships with funders and potential partners. Social Good Co.'s team members are exceptionally talented, strategic, intuitive and action oriented."
