IMPACT STORYTELLING

TATU COLLECTIVE is a dedicated team of consultants based in Africa, driven by a passion for creating real impact in social, environmental, and conservation efforts. Often acting as a bridge, we work with funders supporting initiatives in Africa and with organizations on the ground, delivering lasting positive change and inspiring innovative solutions in conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development.

How we work

  • From producing films, to crafting a compelling grant proposal, or hosting a capacity-building workshop for your fundraising and marketing teams, we’re here to help. We offer flexible, project-based consulting to fit your unique needs and goals.

  • We specialize in creating tailored and integrated strategic, fundraising and communication plans to set your organization on the path to success. Our process begins by understanding your specific circumstances and your goals, allowing us to design a clear and tailored, actionable plan to anchor your organisational efforts and investments. We serve as critical friends, providing guidance and support to keep your strategy on track.

  • Our most comprehensive and in-depth offering starts with a full analysis of your current position and the collaborative development of a multiyear, strategic plan with clear goals across the intersecting domains of fundraising, communications and strategic planning. We help you to build trusted partnerships, create powerful content, and develop financial based strategies to support long term sustainability.

  • FUNDRAISING

    Whether you are giving or raising funding, we work to ensure every dollar goes as far as possible and that teams are supported to achieve long term financial sustainability.

    This can involve researching and profiling prospective funders or grantees, facilitating proposal design workshops, writing grant proposals and reports, and recruiting and training staff or board members.

  • COMMUNICATIONS

    We are passionate about telling stories that bring to life the celebratory achievements of Africa, and ignite positive change. 

    We work with clients who are looking to build their brand, share their stories and to develop key stakeholder partnerships. We offer communications strategies, creative direction, (re)branding and messaging, film production, photographic portfolio creation, social media management and mentorship for communications and marketing managers.

  • STRATEGIC PLANNING

    We help anchor efforts with solid plans, formed and adapted through participatory discussions and debates that challenge conventional thinking.

    We focus on capacity and team building through collaborative strategic planning, conservation plans, organisational policies, and annual work plan development. Our services include ongoing mentorship and accountability ‘check-ins’.
