Impact Support Group provides specialized programmatic and human resource solutions to organizations across the humanitarian, international development, nonprofit and private sectors.
We bring together the right expertise for each assignment, combining technical knowledge, practical experience and a strong understanding of the context in which our partners work.
Expertise Where It Matters
Organizations often need additional expertise at important points in their work - whether to understand needs, design or strengthen a program, assess progress, evaluate results, or strengthen the people and systems behind their organization.
Impact Support Group provides specialized consultancy support shaped around each assignment. We work closely with our partners to understand their needs and context, identify what is required, and bring together the expertise needed to deliver high-quality, practical work.
Our aim is simple: to provide support that is relevant, useful and responsive to the realities organizations face.

ISG supports organizations throughout the program cycle - from understanding the context and identifying needs to designing interventions, supporting implementation, generating evidence and evaluating results.
Our involvement is shaped by the assignment. We can support a specific piece of work or provide expertise across several stages of the program cycle.
Our work is guided by four principles:
We keep people at the heart of our work and consider those who will ultimately be affected by the programs, solutions and systems we help develop.
What works in one setting may not work in another. We adapt our approach to the environment, organization and communities involved.
We focus on work that is practical, useful and contributes to stronger programs and organizations.
We work closely with our partners throughout each assignment, combining their knowledge of the context with the expertise required for the work.
Every assignment takes place within a particular organizational, social and cultural context.
Our approach is designed to work across different countries and operating environments, bringing together relevant expertise while remaining responsive to local realities.
Whether an assignment requires technical specialization, contextual knowledge or both, we shape our approach around the needs of the work.
Supporting organizations working in humanitarian and crisis-affected environments with specialized programmatic and organizational expertise.
Working with organizations and programs focused on sustainable development, systems strengthening, evidence and long-term outcomes.
Supporting mission-driven organizations with technical, programmatic and human resource expertise shaped around their needs.
Providing specialized human resource solutions to businesses seeking to strengthen their people practices, structures and systems.
Not every assignment requires the same expertise or approach.
We start by understanding what the organization needs, the context in which the work will take place and the results the assignment is expected to achieve. From there, we bring together the relevant expertise and develop an approach suited to the work.
This allows ISG to respond to diverse programmatic and human resource needs while keeping each engagement focused on the requirements of the assignment.
