We work alongside your nonprofit team to build the processes, systems, and tools that let your organization grow.
Let's talk about your teamStaff are spending hours on manual workarounds instead of mission work. You've grown past the point where spreadsheets and tribal knowledge can hold things together, but you're not big enough for a full-time systems team.
If this is describing your reality, keep reading to find out how we can help you navigate the solutions.
Conversations at all levels of the organization to understand where change would make the biggest difference. We start with what your team actually needs - whether that's how you onboard new hires, track grant deliverables, or share information across programs - not what's trending.
Your team participates in creating the solution and learns through doing. No sitting on the sidelines watching a consultant work. Your people shape the tool because they know their work best.
A working tool, confident people, and the clarity to decide what comes next. Plus any documentation or reference guides so nothing depends on memory as you continue putting the solution into practice.
This isn't consulting done behind the scenes where the output is just a slide deck full of empty promises. Your team helps choose what we build, participates in creating it, and understands it because they were there.
When the engagement ends, your people don't need us to keep things running. That's the point.
Sometimes the best solution is a better spreadsheet. Sometimes it's a simple automation that saves 10 hours a week. We're not attached to any particular technology - we're obsessed with finding what actually works for your team.
Before starting Trellisway, I spent over 10 years helping nonprofits with technology solutions for fundraising, advocacy and operations. I've learned that every problem has a right-sized solution - often smaller than you initialy think - and I truly enjoy finding those solutions. And I want to help find them with you too.
"A trellis doesn't make the vine grow - it gives the vine something to grow on."
No pitch, no pressure - just a short conversation about where your team is, what challenges you're facing, and whether Trellisway can help you find the right solutions.
Thanks for reaching out. We'll be in touch within one business day.
