A charity with five grant applications ready by morning

Agents that find every grant you are eligible for, draft the application from your own documents, thank every donor and keep volunteers informed.

The situation

A small charity has one person doing fundraising, communications and the volunteer rota, usually at the same time. Grants go unapplied for because nobody saw them; donors are thanked late; volunteers find out about Saturday on Friday night.

Nessie’s agents research the grants you are eligible for, overnight, and draft the applications from your own annual report, policies and past bids. Five are ready for your approval in the morning, and the agent offers to look again every two weeks. Every donation gets a thank-you in your voice, and the volunteers hear about Saturday on Monday.

A day’s work

Every grant you qualify for, found and drafted.

Foundations, councils, lottery funds: the agent reads the criteria against what you do and drafts the ones that fit, from your own documents.

On its own

What it does next, without being asked.

Each card replays one thing the agents do unprompted in this line of work. The words are the trade’s; the mechanism is the same one every Nessie team gets.

Finds the grants overnight

Ask once. It searches, checks the criteria against your charity and comes back with the ones you can win.

Waits for your approval to submit

Each application is drafted from your own documents and waits for the person responsible to read it and press Approve.

Briefs the volunteers

One message about Saturday reaches every volunteer on the rota, in their own language, on WhatsApp.

Still a communication platform

The agents do the searching; your people decide what to ask for

The director, the fundraiser and the agents work in the same channels. The agent brings the grants and the drafts; the people decide which to submit and what the charity will promise. Donor relationships stay with people; the agent makes sure none is forgotten.

  • A person approves every application and every donor message.
  • The agent explains why a grant fits, and learns from what you decline.
  • Volunteers and donors can always reach a person.

Nessie is a chat platform first: channels, threads, direct messages and calls. Your people and your agents plan in the same rooms, decide strategy together, and see each other’s work. Nobody is outside the loop.
