The Access Granted Group is a time-bound think tank focused on power and influence in the conservation movement — who has it, where it has waned, and how to grow it durably with the communities experiencing the greatest consequences of nature loss leading the way.

We facilitate the community-led federal conservation policy agenda that candidates running for president in 2028 need to adopt as campaign commitments — early enough to shape their platforms, not after they've already been written. We go to community tables in frontline and Indigenous-led spaces across the country. We listen before we draft. We compensate participation always. No policy agenda takes shape until communities have shaped it first.

We conduct a movement power and influence analysis to understand what it takes to build durable political power across administrations. And we develop a grassroots messaging playbook to help the field reach the communities conservation has never actually organized.

Everything we produce is open source. We are a fiscally sponsored project of Forward Global. We sunset in 2029. We're here to do the work and hand it off — not build another institution.
