What Makes Us
Different
Atma Connect creates the systems, tools, and programs that connect people to information, resources, and one another. We help transform that connection into collective action and increased community resilience.
Since 2014, Atma Connect has been helping to put information, power and decision making into the hands of local communities, enabling communities to be their own change agents.
Building community-focused digital infrastructure
to enable new levels of connecting, knowledge-sharing, and action at the community level.
Innovating new models of access and engagement
where communities manage and own decentralized infrastructure (energy, water, internet) increasing their local resilience.
Making technology work for communities
with solutions that are human centered and created, owned and maintained by community members.
