Use case · Nonprofits

Run grant-funded programs like an operating company, without hiring an ops team you can't afford.

For: Executive director · Director of programs

Mission-driven nonprofits operate inside the same constraints as a small consulting firm — grant deadlines, board reporting, donor cultivation, program ops — with a fraction of the staff. Atelier lets a director-level operator codify the program playbooks once and have the grant pipeline, donor nurture, board recap, and program intake run as Flows that combine Sage drafting, RFP Engine for grants, Janice for contracted instructors, and human approval gates on anything that touches money or trust.

Why Atelier fits

You're running 6 programs and 3 grants on a team of 4 — orchestration is the difference between making the next quarterly board meeting calm or chaotic.

Grant pipeline runs on a schedule instead of "when someone remembers"
Board + funder reports draft themselves from the program run context
Mission-aligned guardrails stay enforced — every gated step keeps a human in the loop

Three Flows on day one

What the workday looks like

Grant pipeline: opportunity → draft → submit

RFP Engine scrapes new opportunities, scores them against the program's mission fit, drafts the proposal with Sage, and routes a final draft for ED approval before submission.

Quarterly board + funder recap
