Strategy & Analysis
for Foundations and Nonprofits
Founded by longtime grantmaker Christopher Shearer, Third Sector offers informed perspectives and targeted consulting to foundations and nonprofits on strategy design and execution. From strategic planning to analysis of your ongoing alignment, progress, and impact. From field positioning to reflection on the effectiveness of your convenings, publications, and messaging. Our work is based on the idea that both halves of our sector should be better connected.
Services
Third Sector helps foundations and nonprofits with strategic thinking. Folks have asked for help with field positioning, reflection and analysis on strategic planning and execution, the efficacy of key meetings and publications, and what can be simply described as better thinking about how to more cogently talk to external constituents and audiences—who are you, why that matters, why it especially matters now, what you are getting done, and what more you could do.
