Let’s fix that gnarly process

Airtable systems for nonprofits

Your messy processes are costing you time, money, and talented staff.

We build custom Airtable systems for nonprofit teams. They make fundraising easier and prevent expensive mistakes.

Your grant tracker is a spreadsheet that only one person understands — and they are about to go on leave.

Donor follow-ups are falling through the cracks because there's no system holding anyone accountable.

Your events team is copy-pasting sponsorship information into three different documents — and nobody is working from the same version.

Your comms team needs impact numbers yesterday. The data is somewhere — nobody's sure where.

Airtable is built for exactly the kind of complexity nonprofits live with — multiple teams, overlapping data, and cross-departmental processes that don't fit neatly into off-the-shelf software.

A generalist Airtable developer will build what you ask for — but most won't know the right questions to ask.

The Gnarly Systems team brings something different: deep nonprofit sector knowledge, and an ability to connect the dots between siloed teams, and design systems that get to the root of the problem.

Every Gnarly Systems build includes an in-depth discovery process, full documentation, and training so your team can use, update, and own the system long after we're done. No dependency on a developer. No black box. Just a system that works for your whole team.


Consultants: have client with a gnarly process?
