Introducing: Fern AI
Why FernAI: Nonprofit leaders deserve operations technology that gives them visibility into the effectiveness of their teams and contracts.
How FernAI works: We make it simple to organize and track grants and contracts across multiple funders and programs, with program & admin collaboration at every step.
What is FernAI: At it’s core, we’re building a grant/contract management tracker that uses AI to save time filling in information about grants and contracts.

There are 100's of collaboration, project mgmt, and sales tools built for corporations and start-ups but NO tools built specifically to match the processes and needs of multi-service nonprofits
By identifying the processes, needs, and pain-points in this sector, we built Fern AI to
Be a tool for leaders to hold teams accountable
Unlock information across teams
Promote collaboration and efficiency across Admin and Program teams
With Fern AI, nonprofits staff can spend less time “re-gathering” information about grants and contracts, and more time delegating and planning efficient execution of contracts across all sectors of work
-
Funders will recieve more prompt, accurate, and organized reporting from community partners
Executive Directors & Board Members can receive detailed, real-time reports on funding status and impact achieved across all contracts
Executive Directors & Board Members can receive detailed, real-time reports on funding status and impact achieved across all contracts
Contract Managers will finally have a tool built for them to do their job more efficiently
Program Directors will have one place to go to get information about upcoming contracts and requirements from the admin team
Development & Admin teams will have one place to manage the contracts they oversee and can easily send requests/ reminders to the program team for what is required to execute a specific contract
-
While all nonprofits have individual or corporate donors, the majority of the money nonprofits “make” comes from winning grants put out by government or foundation entities
The majority of innovation in the Development/Money-raising space has happened in the “Donor”-space, but that only constitutes 20% of total funds for human service nonprofits
With 80% of funds coming through contracting with these larger entities, the human services sector needs a tracking and collaboration solution that can allow their teams to effectively manage the many aspects of contract management and program execution.
