Case study · CTCAF

Built from scratch. $375K distributed. 25+ nonprofits funded.

[Ben writes this]

I designed and ran the Central Texas Climate Action Fund grant process end to end: from the intake form to the reviewer portal to the board summary. What I built for CTCAF is the same infrastructure I build for clients. Fast to deploy, owned entirely by you, no $8,000 a year software subscription required.

Who this is for

Real problems. Real budgets. No technical staff.

  • Giving circles and donor collaboratives running a grant cycle

  • Small foundations with 0 to 2 staff drowning in email-based processes

  • Nonprofits that need a site, a system, or a dashboard but not a $15k agency

  • Mission-driven small businesses that want to automate the repetitive work

  • Organizations that have tried to build this themselves and need someone to just do it

How it works

Three steps. No surprises in between.

01

Intake call

30 minutes to understand what you're dealing with and whether it's a fit.

02

Scoped and built

Fixed scope, fixed price, two-week delivery for most projects. No hourly billing, no surprises.

03

Yours to keep

Full documentation, you own all the accounts, clean handoff on day one.
