Flexible consulting for funding bold, community-rooted change.

ATHARII means IMPACT in Swahili.

And that’s exactly what we aim to do.

The Atharii Collaborative

A network of experts and practitioners working across mission-driven sectors to help move capital toward people and projects that matter.

Why Now

U.S. federal funding aimed at climate action, civil rights, and international development is being actively dismantled. Programs labeled “equity,” “climate,” or “DEI” are under open attack. And global philanthropy is more competitive than ever.

On one side, community-rooted organizations are spending more time justifying their work than doing it. They are navigating shrinking grants, broken systems, and funders who favor familiarity over true impact.

On the other side, funders are being told to do more with less, often without the proximity, relationships, or tools to respond effectively.

We built Atharii to bridge this gap.

How We Help

We help you secure grants through curated research, proposal writing, program design, and reporting. But funding doesn’t stop there. We also guide you toward a wider set of opportunities such as competitions, partnerships, corporate giving, accelerators, and more. The result is a diversified strategy that keeps your mission moving forward.
Winning funds is only the first step. We stay with you through delivery by coordinating partners, setting timelines, and managing deliverables. With financial and narrative oversight included, your projects stay on track and your impact is visible.
We work with funders, nonprofits, and startups to sharpen strategy and align resources with impact. Our advising supports planning, funder engagement, and capacity building so your team can focus on the work that matters with a clear roadmap in place.
We lead workshops, trainings, and convenings that build skills and strengthen networks. Our energetic and positivity-forward facilitation creates space for warmth and clarity so your team leaves with momentum and the tools to keep moving forward.
