ecoTHINK
We’re Shayna and Amrit, ecoTHINK's contract grant-writing team: creative, adventurous, informed, wicked smart, highly optimistic, and also mothers. In short, we're a duo of epic proportions. And we’d like to bring you into the fold.
OUR MISSION
To collaborate with community businesses to make the world greener, safer, and healthier, one grant at a time.
OUR VISION
We strive to save the world. But the world is heavy and large. It requires a community. So we cast our net wide and collaborate with likeminded folks who think green and find them money for their eco projects, making a greater impact than we ever could solo.
THE DUO
SHAYNA BODI
Shayna is our resident green expert, with all the impressive accreditation (LEED, Certified Green Building Professional, Green Point Rater). She’s mapped the field pretty thoroughly throughout her career, having worked in both corporate and small-business environments (DuPont, Heal-the-Bay Santa Monica Aquarium, SCS Global Services, and The World Green Building Council). She’s also been on TV, sharing her ecological expertise with the public at large on Planet Green’s “Living with Ed.”
Shayna has cofounded companies abroad (EcoMind as well as a franchise of the Impact Hub in Budapest) and is an outreach and business development badass. She lays solid grassroots foundations for every endeavor by building and contributing to community. When she sees a spark, she fans it, relentlessly, until ignition, which is fabulous for your eco project.

AMRIT CHIMA
Amrit is our writer. Detail matters to her, combining just the right words in just the right tone to make an impact on her reader. Before grant writing, she was a regular feature contributor to travel blogs and print magazines, formulated serious critiques of fiction, and published short stories and a novel.
Now she’s using her expertise to write grants for your ecological programs, to tell the heartfelt stories behind your work that will inspire an outpouring of funding. Her obsession with detail, both on the page and in life, along with her many-year stint as a journalist, definitely levels up her skills at grant project management. She’s so far got an encouraging track record, having snaked her way through the serpentine workings of several federal grants, successfully earning money for programs in need. Have a look at her LinkedIn profile to get a sense of her style and to see her portfolio. Then say hi. She’s always happy to hear from you.
