I built Anansi Atlas because I spent more than three years on the other side of it.
I'm Marcus Scott, founder of Anansi Atlas and owner of Scott Foundry Group LLC. Before this I was at the Aeras Foundation in Central Florida, where I started as Project Manager and finished as Chief of Operations. We ran device programs, partner coordination, intake and deployment, and a migration onto Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. Most of what we did depended on money somebody had to go find first.
That search was always the same. Someone on staff who already had a full job would spend evenings reading foundation 990s, checking whether a funder had ever given to an organization our size, and trying to work out whether we were even ready to apply. The information existed. It was scattered across a dozen places, none of which talked to each other, and none of which knew anything about us.
Anansi Atlas is the tool I wanted then. It maps the funders, partners, and government pathways that line up with a specific organization's mission, size, and service area, and it tells you honestly where your readiness is thin before you spend three weeks on an application you were never positioned to win.
It helps you discover and evaluate funding opportunities. It does not promise awards, and nobody credible will.
Before the nonprofit work I served in the U.S. Air Force, Security Forces, from 2010 to 2014. I hold a Master's in Entertainment Business and a Bachelor's in Recording Arts from Full Sail University.
Scott Foundry Group LLC is the company behind Anansi Atlas. It is registered with the federal government and also builds websites and offers grant-readiness consulting for small nonprofits, which is the same customer further up the ladder rather than a second business.
If you want to know whether Anansi Atlas fits your organization, I take those calls myself.
