Patelana Group
In Roman mythology, Patelana was a helper goddess in charge of opening the flag leaves of grain so that the harvest would be bountiful. In that spirit, we help clients open up new possibilities for their organizations and constituents so that everyone can thrive.
Patelana Group provides research, writing, advocacy, public affairs, fundraising, and friendraising services for various nonprofits, corporations, and individuals, with deep expertise in food, nutrition, agriculture, public health, and LGBTQ issues, and a lack of fear about learning new things.
Join us and our friends at Food Systems Collaborative once a month as we provide news updates, demystify policy, and share opportunities for advocacy!

Our Services
Research & Writing
The truth is out there, but only if you seek it, and the quality and style of research is incredibly important if you want to make an impact. And that impact can only be made if you communicate it to the right people at the right time.
We can provide qualitative and quantitative research support on a wide array of topics. We're not afraid of learning something new, and neither should you.
And we're not afraid to help you figure out the best way to spread the word, whether it's social media, op-eds, or earned media.
Advocacy & Public Affairs
Lately, it feels like Washington, D.C. is a mess, with noise and dysfunction everywhere. It can feel like very little gets done.
But we've been there, and we live here. We can help frame and guide your advocacy efforts to advance your organization's interests and the common good, all while keeping you sane.
Fundraising
Applying for a Federal or foundation grant can be daunting, but it can also be the difference between a community getting the help it needs or continuing to struggle.
We can walk you through the paperwork and red tape and hopefully get you the funding you need.
Friendraising
Starting, managing, and facilitating groups of people is one of the most critical tasks for not just your organization, but society at large.
We have experience forming groups, facilitating conversations, framing tough conversations, and forging governing documents and norms that set organizations up for success.
