What's slowing the team down
From the pre-session intake. Walk through each as a group — is the framing right? Anything missing?
Drafting grant applications
Each application takes a full day. Hard to start, harder to maintain consistent voice across them.
Personalized donor thank-yous
Want each donor to feel seen but writing 30+ personalized notes weekly takes hours.
Pulling cross-system data for board reports
Donor CRM, attendance sheets, finance — manually consolidating every month for the board.
Social media captions
Fresh captions while maintaining brand voice gets stale by week three.
Program recap reports
Synthesize what happened, attendance, photos, lessons learned — every single week.
Newsletter drafting
Gathering updates from each team, writing intros, formatting — takes most of a day.
Volunteer onboarding emails
Same info to each new volunteer, but want it to feel personal — not a form letter.
Researching potential funders
Sifting foundation databases, matching to programs, tracking deadlines.
