[ About ]■
What if conservation advocacy didn’t just aim to change policy, but fundamentally transformed how communities lead the fight for nature and climate? That’s what The Access Granted Group delivers—real policy and community breakthroughs where traditional campaign consulting falls short.
We combine grassroots mobilization with insider government expertise to secure legislative and executive designation wins, elevate new leaders, and build multi-mission, multicultural coalitions that endure. Built for complexity, The Access Granted Group is a boutique consulting firm that steps in when everything is moving but not in the same direction; when things work individually but not together; when nothing seems broken, yet no one can clearly see what’s right. Our role is to restore coherence—turning clutter into clarity and motion into momentum.
We empower changemakers to grow their influence, strengthen their roles within movements, and build lasting power for communities and nature. Our expertise lies at the intersection of community-centered conservation, climate solutions, and environmental justice. We partner with nonprofits, coalitions, and philanthropies to align vision and action through strategic planning, policy advocacy, government relations, movement infrastructure, grantmaking, and philanthropic advising.
Our team’s extensive experience—spanning work in 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, Congress, federal agencies, and philanthropic foundations—provides us with both perspective and precision. The outcomes we deliver—team alignment, trust, focus, and connection—translate into measurable results: smarter sequencing, reduced friction, stronger partnerships, higher returns on effort and investment, and, most importantly, a tailored theory of change that equips you to amplify your influence and power for lasting policy change.
While others recycle outdated strategies, we develop the modern approaches your mission needs right now. How? Because we understand your challenges firsthand. We have sat in similar seats to yours and maintain close connections with today’s decisionmakers in Washington, DC, and state capitols as well as critical role players throughout environmental and social justice movements. Above all, we are prepared to fight just as hard for communities as your opponents do for industry insiders.
Our Commitment to Indigenous Sovereignty
The Access Granted Group centers its commitment to promoting and defending the Trust and Treaty Rights of Tribal Nations, Tribal Sovereignty, and the sacred connection of Indigenous peoples to their ancestral and present-day lands and waters in all its work. This commitment guides the firm to pursue contracts and partnerships that support land back initiatives, co-management and co-stewardship models, and sovereignty-first nature and climate policy solutions. By integrating these values into every project, the firm advances Indigenous self-determination and stewardship, ensuring that Tribal Nations lead in the protection and sustainable management of their homelands and natural resources, fostering long-term environmental and cultural resilience.
