Northstar Toolkit helps nonprofits build a stronger fundraising pipeline by finding aligned funders, researching giving patterns, and writing evidence-based applications that stand out.
Most nonprofits work around these challenges every day. Northstar Toolkit is built to solve them.
Without data on funder priorities and giving patterns, organizations apply broadly and hope for the best. Low hit rates waste limited staff time.
Today: Teams find grants through word of mouth, listservs, or browsing funder websites — with no systematic way to assess alignment.
Individual grants are tracked in isolation. There's no strategic view of how many applications are in progress, success rates, or where to focus effort.
Today: Fundraising leaders piece together pipeline status from spreadsheets, emails, and one-on-one conversations with grant writers.
Every application starts from scratch. Organizational evidence and past narratives aren't reusable, so more applications means proportionally more work.
Today: Grant writers manually adapt previous proposals, re-finding and re-formatting evidence for each new application.
Combine funder research, opportunity discovery, evidence management, and AI-powered grant writing in one workflow. Build a strategic pipeline instead of one-off applications.
