About

With over 15 years of experience working across three countries and various international contexts, Hilo Consulting has secured over $4,000,000 in funding for our clients since 2020. From working on the ground with grassroots NGOs in Guatemala to speaking about AI across the Midwest, we believe that technology holds the promise to uplift organizations at every level.

Our expertise spans all facets of the grants process, but our qualifications extend far beyond professional experience. We know firsthand the challenges that nonprofits face and understand how to create lasting impact amidst today’s rapid technological changes.

Now, we are pioneering the future of social impact with AI. We help organizations to harness cutting-edge technology to work smarter and find more opportunities, so they focus on meaningful work. We are passionate advocates who believe in the power of technology to serve the social good.
