Who We Work With
SFG envisions a Minnesota where racial equity shapes our systems and opportunities: every young person has a safe place to call home, every child has access to high-quality learning, women live free from violence and shape our future in elected office, and nonprofit and social sector leaders have the resources, support, and trust they need to lead lasting change.
SFG works with and invests in leaders who are advancing racial equity, expanding opportunity, and building stronger communities across Minnesota. We help them turn their vision into clear priorities, secure the resources to move forward, and follow through on the work that creates lasting change.
The Sidekick Partnership
See the whole picture.
We help you sort the urgent from the important, connect work across the organization, and choose the moves most likely to create meaningful progress.
Turn big ideas into an actionable plan people can use.
Together, we shape goals, measures, roles, and next steps that fit your mission, capacity, funding, and actual working conditions.
Keep momentum without setting everyone’s hair on fire.
We create practical rhythms for decisions, accountability, and progress reviews so important work keeps moving without exhausting the people doing it.
Bring people with you.
We design and facilitate conversations that help teams think together, name what is hard, make decisions, and leave knowing what happens next.
Build support for the mission.
When the work calls for it, we strengthen fundraising, communications, campaigns, and partner engagement so more people understand the vision and know how to help.
Tell the story people need to hear.
We sharpen the case for your work and turn it into fundraising and communications people can understand, remember, and act on.
