Partners for Public Good

At Partners for Public Good, we believe that when government works, communities thrive. Launching in March 2025, we are a fast-growing nonprofit dedicated to helping state and local governments to harness core operational functions–procurement, staffing, digital infrastructure, and budgeting–to drive public impact.

Our journey began in 2011 at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Government Performance Lab, where we set out to transform public procurement. Since then, we’ve worked with hundreds of governments across the country to make their procurement systems more efficient, fair, results-driven, and strategic. In 2022, we launched the Procurement Excellence Network, putting our tools and strategies in the hands of over two thousand public servants.

Today, our team of doers, coaches, and advisors partners with governments to create lasting, impactful change. Our vision is simple: every resident has a government they can count on, every day.
