About us

Our Mission

Raise the capacity of nonprofits to achieve lasting impact.

Sheikh/Impact is a minority woman-owned firm that supports organizations working to serve and improve our communities. The issues that are important to our clients are also important to our team because they are ultimately what have driven each of us to do what we do.

Who we Are

  • to supporting organizations focused on justice system reform because we have personally experienced the effects of the current system.

  • in our work to build the capacity of health care organizations because we know true community wellness only happens with equitable access to quality, compassionate care.

  • to building the capacity of direct service organizations because we have been recipients of such services.

  • in ensuring the sustainability of arts service organizations because we have had our lives changed through art and connection.

SHEIKH/IMPACT is the proud recipient of the 2024 San Pedro Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year award and the 2024 Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation award given by the Association of Fundraising Professionals — Greater Los Angeles Chapter.

Formerly Thurlow/Associates, Sheikh/Impact was formed over three years ago by Amber Sheikh to continue and build on the work done by the former iteration of the firm.
