Built on your knowledge · Backed by real people

The private AI platform for nonprofit work.

For-profits buy their advantage — bigger budgets, bigger teams, bigger marketing. Groundcrew closes that gap: a secure AI workspace built on your organization's own documents and know-how, with purpose-built tools for the work you actually do. We set it up, train your people, and stay with you as it grows.

Proof from our own operations

We don't just sell this system. We run our company on it.

Our founders run production software platforms — including for housing authorities — on the same AI systems we set up for you. When your organization needs a hand or a change, this is what that looks like:

34 min

Median first response when a client asks us for help.

1 hr

Median time to fully resolve a request — even when it takes a code change.

20+

AI agents running in production daily inside our own company.

For perspective

Organizations pay six figures for AI platforms with less behind them.

How it works

Audit. Build. Adopt.

We don't drop software on your desk and disappear. Every engagement follows the same three moves.

1

AI Audit

We sit down with each of your teams — real conversations, not surveys — to map how work actually happens and where AI genuinely helps. You get a phased, plain-English plan whether or not you continue with us.

1–2 weeks
2

Build & load

We stand up your private workspace, load your documents, and configure the modules from your plan. You review a working version on your real content before anything launches.

~2 weeks
3

Adopt & grow

Team training, monthly office hours, and usage reviews. As your people find new uses, we add modules, connect new data, and build custom tools on top.

Ongoing
Services & pricing

Start small. Grow when it earns it.

Who it's for

Built for organizations that run on knowledge — and can't afford to lose it.

Two kinds of teams get the most out of Groundcrew on day one.

Nonprofits & foundations

You're asked to do more every year with the same staff. Groundcrew gives your team a knowledgeable colleague who has read every grant, every policy, and every report you've ever filed.

Grant tracking, drafting, and reporting deadlines Consistent messaging across chapters and programs Funder research without expensive subscriptions Board and governance prep grounded in your documents

Networks & capacity builders

You exist to make other nonprofits stronger. Groundcrew gives your whole network one shared workspace — so every organization you support works from the same playbook and sounds like one movement.

One platform for all your members, priced for networks Consistent voice and proven practices across affiliates Turn your grant-writing training into a tool members use daily See real adoption across your network, not guesswork
Who we are

You work directly with the people who build it.

The Groundcrew team is in every engagement — a human-led audit, strategy, and execution, with no layers and no hand-offs. We believe AI can have a tremendous impact on nonprofits, but the human element is still what makes it work.
