The Problem with the Status Quo

Most nonprofits work around these challenges every day. Northstar Toolkit is built to solve them.

Grants Tracked in Spreadsheets

When grants live in spreadsheets and email threads, deadlines slip, evidence gets lost, and team members duplicate work without knowing it.

Today: Most teams use a mix of Excel, Google Sheets, and email to track grant status — with no single view of the full pipeline.

Evidence Disconnected from Applications

Program data, outcomes reports, and organizational stats sit in separate files. Every new application means hunting for evidence from scratch.

Today: Grant writers manually search shared drives and past applications to find relevant data for each new proposal.

No Visibility into Team Progress

Without a shared workflow, it's hard to know which grants are in progress, who's responsible for what, and where bottlenecks are forming.

Today: Status updates happen in meetings or Slack messages — information that's immediately lost to anyone who wasn't in the room.

7-Stage Grant Workflow

Move every grant through a structured pipeline from planning to outcome. Each stage has clear actions, and your evidence library connects directly to drafts.

  • Planning stage for funder research and alignment scoring
  • Outlining with AI-assisted structure and evidence mapping
  • Drafting with citations pulled from your evidence library
  • In Review stage for team collaboration and feedback
  • Submission tracking with deadline management
  • Awarded and Declined outcome recording
  • Evidence library linked across all active grants
