Atlas Center for Nonprofits

The Atlas Center for Nonprofits is one of the only nonprofit capacity-building organizations catering specifically to grassroots & social justice organizations. Atlas works to help support grassroots and social justice organizations' fundraising, data, professional development & equity needs at a cost that allows them to focus funds on critical programmatic work - where it belongs. With over a decade of staff experience, Atlas is uniquely equipped to address the needs of non-profit organizations, regardless of budget size, age, or institutional history. In its first year of operation, Atlas has become an integral partner to a number of social justice organizations across a myriad of critical issues 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. In 2019, Atlas has raised over $1.9 million in successful grants and over $600,000 of new grants for our partner organizations, while saving our partners an average of 70% on fundraising costs.
