Our Services
At Pinel & Associates, we help Indigenous Nations, NGOs, and non-profits secure funding, develop strong policies, and create governance structures that support long-term environmental conservation and natural resource management.
We focus on funding acquisition as the foundation of lasting impact. Without financial stability, good governance and resource management policies remain theoretical. That’s why we work alongside communities and organizations to develop strategies that secure funding, implement effective policies, and strengthen governance frameworks—all with the goal of ensuring long-term prosperity.
Funding & Financial Strategy
Accessing funding is one of the greatest challenges facing Indigenous Nations and conservation-focused organizations. We specialize in:
Grant Identification & Proposal Writing – Finding and securing funding from government sources, private foundations, and international organizations.
Financial Planning for Long-Term Sustainability – Ensuring that organizations have stable, predictable funding for conservation, land management, and economic development projects.
Strategic Partnership Development – Connecting organizations with funders and collaborators who support environmental and community-driven initiatives.
We don’t just write grants—we build funding strategies that allow organizations to sustain their work long after initial funding is secured.
Governance & Policy Development
Effective governance ensures that funding and resources are managed responsibly and equitably. We help organizations:
Design Governance Frameworks – Structuring leadership roles, decision-making processes, and accountability measures to ensure effective management.
Develop & Update Policies – Creating policies that align with conservation goals, funding requirements, and community values.
Train Leadership & Staff – Ensuring those responsible for governance have the knowledge and skills to implement and oversee policies effectively.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every governance structure we develop is tailored to the needs of the Nation, non-profit, or conservation initiative we support.
Resource Management & Environmental Stewardship
We help communities protect, manage, and restore their land and natural resources by developing clear, sustainable policies that balance economic, cultural, and ecological priorities. Our work includes:
Land & Water Policy Development – Creating structured policies for conservation, sustainable land use, and responsible water management.
Community-Based Stewardship Programs – Helping organizations create programs that engage local leadership in conservation and sustainable resource use.
Balancing Traditional Knowledge & Modern Governance – Ensuring policies respect Indigenous traditions while integrating practical, enforceable frameworks.
We recognize that long-term conservation efforts depend on governance and funding—we work to make sure both are in place.
Business & Economic Development for Sustainable Growth
Economic development doesn’t have to come at the expense of environmental protection. We help organizations and Indigenous Nations build economic models that are both financially and environmentally sustainable.
Identifying Viable Economic Opportunities – Exploring revenue-generating projects that align with conservation priorities.
Developing Business Plans – Structuring economic initiatives that balance financial success with environmental responsibility.
Building Strategic Partnerships – Connecting organizations with funders, investors, and allies who support sustainable development.
We focus on long-term economic strategies, ensuring communities retain control over their land and resources while benefiting financially from sustainable development.
Remote Administration & Custom Solutions
For organizations operating in remote areas, we provide real-time administrative support in sectors such as education, healthcare, housing, and social services. We recognize that every community operates differently, so we tailor our support to fit your specific structure, priorities, and traditions.
Our goal is to increase organizational capacity so that the systems we help put in place are not just effective today, but continue to grow and evolve with your community.
Let’s Build a Stronger Future Together
We know that good policies and governance frameworks only work if organizations have the funding to implement them. That’s why we focus on securing funding first, followed by developing the governance and policy structures that allow organizations to manage their resources effectively.
