The back office, carried.

Four tools for the work nobody starts a nonprofit to do. Grants carried, people trained, events run, story told.

Why Portage

A portage is the carry between lakes. Everything on your back, boots in the mud, and it is the stretch of the trip that decides whether you make it. Our founder guided canoe trips to Hudson Bay, and he will tell you the same thing every guide knows: the trip is won or lost on the portage.

Running a mission-driven organization is the same. The grant reports, the training records, the event logistics, the newsletter that slipped again this month. Nobody signed up for that part. It is also the part that sinks organizations.

So we built the crew that carries it.

The Portage Suite

Lena

Lena carries the grant.

First draft to final report. Lena reads the funding notice and your documents, drafts the application from those documents only, checks the details that get applications bounced, and watches the money once the grant lands. Also available to grant writers managing many clients.

Banneker

Banneker trains the people and writes the playbook.

Compliance training and standard operating procedures, drafted from your own documents. Your team learns, signs off, and you keep an audit-ready record of who learned what, when, and from which source.

Quill Roster

Quill Roster runs the events.

Enter your speakers, sessions, and sponsors once. The event website, slide deck, printed program, tickets, and social campaign all flow from that single source.

Ethel

Ethel tells the story.

Articles, podcast episode content, newsletters, and social posts, drafted in your voice and published on schedule, so your story goes out even in the busy months.

Each stands alone. Together they are the Portage Suite.
