Community Systems Group is a full service consulting firm created to serve philanthropy, governments, and communities
in their efforts to improve health and social justice. CSG does this by providing comprehensive evaluation services
for your organization; by providing sophisticated consultation on strategic and action planning, logic model
development, evaluation planning, organizational effectiveness, and organizational sustainability; and by providing
unparalleled access to technology that allows you and your partners to work together more productively and efficiently.
Since 1999, CSG has operated on three core values. First, every circumstance is unique. The ongoing work required to
understand and respond to local conditions is one of the most important investments of our time. Second, CSG is only
as good as what we leave behind. Our involvement in a community should leave new tools, skills or supports that
insure the community can continue the work begun during our relationship. Finally, we are co-experts. Regardless of
what professional expertise we bring, we are co-experts to local citizens who know and care about their communities.

the hard work of improving local health and justice.
