We want to hear from you! What’s one process that you wish you could automate?

Before you start responding to a grant application, the best first step is to make sure you can clearly express how your organization makes an impact. Make sure it’s straight forward enough that a stranger could understand it, then proceed with your grant response!

🎉 Congratulations to Chrysalis Community Wellness, NFP and founder Elisa Bergquist on accepting their first ever grant at yesterday’s Duvall Rotary awards breakfast!

CCW provides access to holistic medicine for veterans, active service members, and individuals experiencing financial hardship in the Snoqualmie Valley. This grant is their first, and it will not be their last. 💜

Sophie and I were honored to be there yesterday morning. This is exactly why we started Civic North Consulting. 🙌

Here is what Elisa had to say about working with our team:

“As a small nonprofit with a meaningful mission but limited grant-writing experience, navigating the funding world felt overwhelming. Civic North quickly changed that.”

We are so proud of you, Elisa. 💚
If your nonprofit is ready to pursue its first grant, we would love to connect.

Last week at APMP BPC Denver and still thinking about the people we met.
There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who care about doing this work well and doing it together.

🥂Grateful for new connections, shared ideas, and the kind of conversations that actually move things forward. Excited to stay in touch and see what we all build from here.

Missed opportunities aren’t always about funding. Sometimes it’s your calendar.

📆Most nonprofits don’t have IT support, which means scheduling gets messy fast. When your personal, nonprofit, and work calendars aren’t aligned, your booking link can end up working against you.

Let’s fix that so every opportunity actually has a chance to land.

🟣Book a diagnostic call if you’d like to talk more about how Civic North can help your nonprofit thrive and grow. Link in comments ⬇️

If you lead a nonprofit and you’re managing your schedule across multiple platforms, there is a good chance your booking page is showing availability that does not actually exist.

POV: You think the proposal manager is being dramatic… but they’re actually holding the entire galaxy together.

We had to make our own version of the viral Darth Vader edit… but this time he’s not a villain.

He’s your misunderstood proposal manager.

Somehow managing:
• 47 inputs from 12 people
• a deadline that moved twice
• a compliance matrix no one fully read
• and “one quick tweak” five minutes before submission

Meanwhile the rest of the team: “should be good??”

Him: already on version V_FINAL_FINAL_v3

If you know, you know.

More tools ≠ better outcomes.

Especially in public safety.

If anything, it’s making things more complicated.
