The Discovery Group Information

The Discovery Group (TDG) is a consulting firm dedicated to the social profit and non-profit sector. We believe that social profit and non-profit organizations can change the world. Our mission is to help our clients envision change, determine how to make it happen, and put the necessary tools and skills into place for success. Evolving donor behaviour, competition and heightened scrutiny of the charitable sector mean boards and senior leaders are under pressure to deliver results on a sustainable basis. We work with leaders who understand a tight alignment between their mission, board of directors, senior leadership and stakeholders sets the course for their organization to succeed. TDG provides services to support our clients in four interrelated areas of the social profit sector: • Board and Governance Engagement – This may take the form of establishing affiliated Foundations, leading board retreats and conducting board governance reviews. Broadly, it is work that aligns board activities and discussions to what matters most, resulting in a focused, inspired and mission-oriented leadership group. • Organizational Priority Setting and Planning – This service involves working with senior leadership to set priorities and create strategic plans in support of delivering the mission. • Fundraising Performance – Examples of this service are: providing fundraising counsel to identify, qualify and solicit prospects; conducting prospect research, campaign planning and counsel support. • Executive Search, Onboarding Support, Training, and Leadership Succession Planning – This service will include: the identification and successful recruitment of senior-level leadership positions, training for key positions within organizations and leadership succession planning.
