OUR WORK
Atlas believes that there are already brilliant nonprofit organizations embarking on brave and critical work. Many nonprofit organizations struggle to realize their potential due to chronic issues that plague the sector - low fundraising capacity, bandwidth, mission drift, and power dynamics. Atlas provides innovative and impactful solutions with a focus on sustainability and building true capacity within organizations. Our work impacts our partners holistically: shifting them from organizations with low capacity and high dependency on consultants to organizations with high capacity and low dependency on consultants. We seek to provide structure and support these vital organizations as they embark on essential work to improve our communities, dismantle systems of oppression, and promote equitable and just visions of change.
Atlas has become an integral partner to a number of social justice organizations across a myriad of critical issues affecting millions of people such as: dismantling the School-To-Prison pipeline, equity in NYC Public Schools, low voter turnout, criminal justice reform, providing immigrants with high-quality jobs, promoting and defending the human rights of immigrants, supporting youth organizing, and eliminating food deserts via urban farming. Atlas’ team currently manages the cultivation of over $1.9M for our partners. Atlas’ team has increased our partner's grant revenue by an average of 31% and has secured over $600K in new revenue for clients so far in 2019. This progress has been accomplished at significant savings to our partners as well. Atlas’ partners have saved an average of 70% on fundraising costs.
