Mission Statement

Atlas is working to center organizations around their mission, develop responsible fundraising strategies, and create culture and policies that achieve equity, empower staff, and deliver impact at scale.

Vision Statement

All nonprofit organizations should have access to the skills, funding, and resources that they need.

Values

SUSTAINABILITY

Atlas works with groups to increase their organizational sustainability. Through developing plans that will both achieve programmatic goals and are directly tied into the organization’s mission and vision, we ensure that our partners have ambitious financial and programmatic goals and benchmarks to track progress.

We couple this with developing proper systems and frameworks to allow our partners to grow in a sustainable pattern. We believe in proactive organizational development, not reactive as well as investing in good governance. We work with nonprofits to develop positive habits, affirmative and inclusive cultures, and engaged, effective board members.

INFORMATION & IMPACT

Growing organizations often scale their programmatic work to meet increased demands, but neglect to scale their information systems as well. Atlas works to combat information silos on staff, disjointed programs, a lack of internal trust or communication, increased workloads, and “brain drain” with staff turnover. Atlas is committed to helping our partners design, create, and implement information systems that can fit their need and budget. We meet organizations where they are in their data journey and make sure our solutions are custom to their need to prevent the loss of institutional knowledge and create a self-learning community amongst staff.

EQUITY 

Atlas believes that organizations are not only meant to be accountable to constituent need, but should have the role of voice amplification. Nonprofit organizations must listen and be led by the communities that they serve. This means that community voice and community power should flow within the organization at all levels. Atlas works with our partners to proactively create policies that will ensure that people from the constituency being served are represented and actively empowered.
