Every organization has one thing quietly costing it money.

A process nobody has time to fix. Revenue slipping through a gap somebody noticed once and never mentioned again. Funding sitting on a table you didn't know existed.

We find it, put a number on it, and get it handled.

Start a conversation

How this works

It starts with a conversation, not a proposal.

You tell us what takes too long, breaks too often, or costs more than it should. We go find out why, and what it's worth to fix.

We're not selling one product. Sometimes the answer is software you already own and aren't using right. Sometimes it's a process rebuilt. Sometimes it's money you qualify for and never applied to.

And if we look and find nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you that too. It's a shorter conversation, but it's an honest one.

Capabilities

What we do

Nonprofit funding packages

A complete funding workup for organizations that are better at the mission than at asking for money.

Most small nonprofits ask the same donors they asked last year, while private foundations sit on money they are legally required to give away. Those foundations file public tax returns listing every grant they've made — and most have no website, no application portal, and no way to be found by searching.

  • Funders matched to your work. Foundations with a track record of giving to organizations like yours, what they gave, and how to approach them.
  • The people behind the money. Trustees and board members named in public filings, so a cold proposal becomes a warm conversation.
  • Government funding you may be missing. County, state and federal dollars set aside for work like yours, including money already allocated that nobody has claimed.
  • Help making the ask. What to say, who says it, and how to follow up — until it stops feeling like begging.

A list is worthless if nobody makes the call. We stay on it until someone does.

Operations and broken processes

The thing everybody complains about and nobody has time to fix.

Double entry between systems. A report somebody rebuilds by hand every week. Scheduling that runs on memory and text messages. Paperwork that moves at the speed of whoever remembers to move it.

We map what's actually happening, find where the hours go, and put a dollar figure on it. Then we fix it — with automation, better use of tools you already pay for, or a vendor we bring in.

Revenue and new business

Business you should be winning and aren't.

Leads that go cold because nobody followed up. Quotes that take three days when a competitor's takes an hour. Customers who bought once and never heard from you again. Pricing that hasn't moved while your costs have.

We look at where business enters and where it leaks, then tell you which gap is worth closing first.

Finding the answer to something specific

Research you don't have time to do.

Who's funding work like ours. What our competitors charge. Which regulation applies. Who actually makes the buying decision at that company. Where the grant money went last year.

Public records hold far more than most people realize. We know where to look, and we cite where every answer came from.
