Brand first, funding second.

 

Only one in 1,000 nonprofits grow beyond a small business. 260,000 foundations make grants to help them. But money alone is not enough.

Nonprofits and foundations need bold brands to maximize funding and achieve large-scale social change.

Too often for both doers and donors, missions and visions are scattered. The landscape crowded. Audiences and uniques unclear. Messaging and comms weak. Internal teams out of sync with the brand.

So $700B in global philanthropy isn’t maximized. Especially for locally-led orgs that go unseen, unheard, and underfunded. Then impact stalls. And 85% of SDGs remain off track.

Mighty Ally builds nonprofit and foundation brands that maximize funding and advance social justice.

The brand behind the grant.

Mighty Ally is a nonprofit B Corp — fighting poverty and injustice in lockstep with our clients. Our exclusive focus is on the growth and early stage. We’re a catalyst between nonprofits and foundations. And we have unmatched international perspective for a purposefully small team, with Global North and South co-founders. Plus 230 clients in 50 countries so far.
