Small community groups & micro-NFPs
Grant strategy, volunteer structure and compliance — without a full-time hire.
If you're volunteer-led or running on one or two paid staff, every dollar has to earn its place. We work in short, sharply scoped pieces that put revenue in the door and give your committee a plan it can actually follow.
Sound familiar?
- Grant applications written at the last minute, in the gaps between everything else
- Unsuccessful submissions with no feedback on why
- Acquittals overdue, putting the next round at risk
- Volunteers doing critical work with no documented process
- A strategic plan that lives in a drawer
- Nobody sure what the constitution actually requires
How we help
Where we add the most leverage.
Grant & revenue readiness
Commissioning-body mapping matched to your mission and size, a reusable case-for-support, and written submissions. We aim to pay for ourselves out of successful applications.
Volunteer & operating frameworks
Role descriptions, onboarding, screening and simple process documentation so the organisation doesn't stop when one person steps back.
Simple strategic plans
A facilitated half-day with your committee, out the other side with a one-page plan, priorities and measures your commissioning bodies will recognise.
Compliance basics
Constitution and policy refresh, ACNC reporting obligations, and a plain-English calendar of what's due when.
Typical investment
$2k – $7.5k
Scoped as fixed-fee pieces, staged over your revenue cycle. We'll tell you plainly if a grant-supported pathway can cover it.
Lowest-risk first step
The Grant-Readiness & Acquittal Audit is designed for exactly this stage: we review your recent applications, find the pattern, and hand back a 12-month revenue pipeline.
Proof
We've built social enterprises, festivals and youth programs from the ground up with organisations running on tight budgets and big ambition.
