Who is Attainment?

Grayling and Wraith takes the tedious, complex, and vital elements of organizational growth off their hands, so that busy and talented founders can focus on the creative growth of their organization and better support and nurture their community. Every year, thousands of Non-Profits are born into the world. These Non-Profits are rooted in brilliant ideas for changing the world, however, for most active and nascent foundations, the fundamentals for business success are lacking. As a result, funding, marketing, and free advertising and networking are all lacking. Like most ventures in the for-profit world, these dreams are often shattered in the first three years. We fix that.
