Growth, by design.

We help small nonprofits and education programs win the right funding, put AI to work, and build systems their team can run on its own.

Services

What we do

For teams too small for a development department, and too stretched to leave money on the table.

Funding strategy

Find the money that fits your mission, and win it.

  • Grant research, writing, and submission
  • Sponsorships, corporate giving, and public contracts
  • Funding reports your board can read in five minutes

AI-enabled operations

Put AI to work on the busywork, in your own voice.

  • Drafting, research, and reporting workflows built for your team
  • Training so staff can run them without us
  • A person reviews everything before it goes out

Capacity building

Build systems that don't live in one person's head.

  • Strategic and program planning
  • Data, tracking, and reporting setup
  • Documented processes your team owns

Cairn, our funding system, ranks every open opportunity by fit each week. Today it runs the funding pipeline for a Sacramento community nonprofit.
