Altairium for nonprofits
Your second co-founder for nonprofit operations.
We help small and midsize nonprofits untangle grants, outreach, and internal ops with scoped consulting and nonprofit-first AI tools. No jargon, no platform bloat—just systems your team can run.
Built for teams with thin capacity, competitive grants, and real reporting demands.

What we build
A focused set of AI tools for the funding and reporting work you already do.
We start with grant workflows and reporting, then expand from there. Each tool is designed to sit cleanly next to the systems you already rely on—documents, spreadsheets, and CRMs.
Grant Workspace
Central place for narratives, requirements, and drafts across your pipeline.
Pipeline insights
Light analytics so you see which grants are worth the effort.
Reporting helpers
Prompts and structures that make recurring reports faster to turn around.
Board briefs
Short updates that keep leadership aligned without a 40-slide deck.
Operations layer
Designed to live under your work, not on top of it.
We plug into how your team already gets work done—email, docs, shared drives—and only introduce new surfaces when they clearly reduce friction.
Consulting for nonprofits
Scoped projects that respect your team’s time.
We keep workstreams small, clear, and time-bound—so you get real progress without another endless committee.
01
Grant Strategy Sprint
Clarify targets, tidy the pipeline, and walk away with a practical plan for the next 6–12 months.
02
Done-with-You Grant Writing
Build reusable core narratives so each new application is adaptation, not reinvention.
03
AI Enablement
Train staff on safe, practical AI use for grants, reporting, and communications.
Our story
Started in student consulting so impact wouldn't stop at the slide deck.
Altairium grew out of projects at Vanderbilt and Cornell with nonprofits in food security, cultural programming, homelessness, and community development. We saw strong teams, thin capacity, and work that too often ended at “Final Presentation”.
We set up Altairium so we could keep going—pairing consulting and tooling, and staying long enough to help the new systems stick.

Next step
If grants, reporting, or internal coordination are eating your week, we'd like to hear where things are getting stuck.
Sustainability
For every tool or service we deploy, we commit to estimating and sharing its environmental footprint—and to choosing lower-impact options wherever we can.
Environmental impact is part of the product, not an add-on.
