Social Good Solutions (SGS) is a Black woman-owned and operated consulting firm working with philanthropic institutions, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and institutions of higher education to design, operationalize and manage strategic racial justice initiatives from concept to implementation. Our core values are grounded in dignity and justice for all, community-centered solutions, and excellence at every turn. Using a participatory framework and co-design approach, we support our clients in their journey to advance racial equity and social justice. SGS works with organizations that are ready to do the deep work of challenging notions around “the way things have always been done.” Equity and justice require us to disrupt long-held power imbalances, reimagine what’s possible and work to put those possibilities into practice. Therefore, we are people-centered and community-driven so that institutions holding the public’s trust do so with integrity. Our core work includes: 1) Initiative Design & Management 2) Organizational Culture Transformation 3) Strategic Advising 4) Facilitation and Curated Conversations "More than a consultant, Kaci is a thought partner. She helps us to think about how to position the organization for its greatest impact and to engage our stakeholders as partners in our mission." — Felicia Jones, Associate Director, C.O.P.E.

On Sunday, we’re gathering a community of partners, nonprofit leaders, clients, chosen family, and friends to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Social Good Solutions! I am beyond grateful. As a Black-woman owned and majority-operated business, I am incredibly fortunate to have had ten consecutive years of financial stability, all while getting to do inspiring work and pioneering new, standard-setting models of impact. I will shout it from the mountaintops: God has been so good, I just can’t tell it all! And—big announcement coming during the party! We have so much to celebrate!
COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY! Karren Lane talks about how Mayor Karen Bass and herself have built a focus around building a stable, secure, network of change within the communities they touch.
