the load
We help not for profits put AI to work for their people. AI doesn’t know your organisation, so we teach it, then start with one real job from your week so you can see it help.
Less paperwork. More people work.
A week of small jobs, sorted. Your people stay at the centre.
An animated diagram of a working week at a not for profit. Small jobs such as emails, receipts, rosters and board recordings arrive in a pile. Each is sorted to the knowledge base, AI automation, governance or your Ontava team, and anything that needs a person, such as a complaint or a big donation offer, goes straight to your desk.

What it costs
We confirm the price with you before anything starts, so there are no surprises. Our prices are set for not for profits.
What we won’t do
- Leave you with more questions than answers. Every conversation ends with plain next steps you can act on.
- Sell you a step you aren’t ready for. If your data or people need work first, we start there.
- Do your IT provider’s job. We work with them, and tell them what needs fixing and why.
- Put client, donor or volunteer information anywhere that isn’t set up to protect it.
- Sell you software. We take no commissions, so we have no tool to push.
- Pitch AI as a way to cut staff or volunteers. It’s there to give your people time back and help them do their best work.
