The mission shouldn't wait on paperwork
We build automation and AI for Australian not-for-profits, sized for lean teams. The paperwork comes off your team, and the time goes back to the people you serve.
Your team signed up to help people, not chase forms
Small teams carry the admin of much bigger ones. Grant applications, acquittals, donor updates, rosters and board reports all land on the same few people, and the mission waits while they type.
Automation and AI can now do the first pass on grants, updates and reports. Not-for-profits across Australia already use it for grant writing and case notes, with sector bodies backing safe adoption.
- Grant applications and acquittals drafted by AI, checked by your people
- Donor and member updates that send themselves
- Board and funder reports without the late nights
Start with what gives the most time back
Most not-for-profits begin with one pain point, like grant drafting or rostering. Each service stands on its own and is sized for a lean team.

Questions we hear most
What does CG TECH do for not-for-profits?
We build automation and AI for Australian not-for-profits, sized for lean teams. The paperwork comes off your team, and the time goes back to the people you serve.
Is AI affordable for a not-for-profit?
Yes. We start with one high-value process at a fixed scope with a known price, so you see a result before spending more. Many not-for-profits also already own the tools we build on through discounted Microsoft 365 licensing.
Where does AI help a lean not-for-profit team most?
Usually in grants and funding admin, donor communications, rostering and reporting to funders, where paperwork eats into mission time.
Can AI help with grant applications and funder reporting?
Yes. AI can pull together first drafts of applications, acquittals and reports from your own records and past submissions, ready for a person to review and finish. The hours saved each round are usually significant.
Will automation make our service feel less personal?
No. We automate the admin behind the scenes so your team has more time for the people you serve, not less. Anything client-facing keeps a person in the loop.
We rely on volunteers. Will people actually use it?
Yes, if it is simple. We build inside the tools your people already use, such as Teams and familiar forms, so there is little to learn and nothing extra to log into.
Is our donor and client data kept private?
Yes. Your data stays in your own environment under your access controls and is never used to train public models. Sensitive client records get the tightest permissions.
Can this work with the systems we already use?
Yes. We build around your current tools, such as Microsoft 365, your CRM or donor platform and finance system, rather than replacing them.
How long does a first project take to deliver?
A focused first project is usually a few weeks, scoped so the board sees a measurable result before committing further.
