NCNonprofit Capital Navigator

Guided funding-readiness workspace

Turn an organization’s facts into a fundable next-step plan.

Review the verified capital-progression research, complete the organization-specific gaps, and export a partner packet without sending sensitive information to a server.

Partner brief

Before you begin

This workspace helps your organization assemble the facts, evidence, readiness status, and funding priorities an authorized funding advisor needs to recommend a practical next step. It is a preparation and review tool—not a grant application or promise of funding.

About 20–30 minutesYou can stop and return on this same browser and device.

Have these ready

  • Legal status, EIN, fiscal-sponsor details, and annual budget
  • Mission, core programs, population served, and geography
  • Recent outcomes, supporting evidence, and document links
  • Registration, financial, policy, technology, and cash-flow status
  • Top funding need, target amount, timing, current funders, and relationships

What happens to your entries

Your answers are saved only in this browser. They are not uploaded or submitted. Export a JSON backup if you need to continue elsewhere, and export the partner packet when you are ready for review.

Important: local progress is specific to this browser and device and may be lost if browser storage is cleared.

    Organization recordIdentity, legal posture, budget, geography, and mission.

    Evidence profilePrograms, people served, outcomes, and proof references.
  3. 3
    Readiness analysisConfirmed gates, open gaps, and items requiring human review.
  4. 4
    Matching inputsFunding need, amount, timing, capital layer, and relationships.
  5. 5
    Review packetValidation results, next actions, and portable exports.
What is automated now

Local saving, completeness checks, readiness-gap detection, and rule-based next-action guidance.

What still requires a person

Verifying evidence, resolving uncertain answers, judging funder fit, approving recommendations, and submitting anything externally.

After completion

Review the final page, export the partner packet and JSON backup, then send the packet to the authorized program lead or funding advisor who invited you. If no reviewer was named, keep the exports and request handoff instructions before sharing sensitive information.

Partner-entered information

Step 1

Organization profile

Establish identity, legal posture, and service context. Do not guess—mark uncertain items clearly.

Step 2

Programs and evidence

Capture what currently exists and the evidence available to support it.

Step 3

Readiness check

These are high-value gates identified by the sourced research. “Not sure” is a valid answer and creates a follow-up action.

Step 4

Funding priorities

Define the need before matching opportunities. The research recommends readiness and fit over a high-volume grant search.

Step 5

Review and controlled export

Resolve critical gaps, then export a portable packet. This prototype does not transmit or submit information.
