Grant clarity
Funding terms stay attached to the source
Reporting dates, restrictions, and promised outcomes stay connected to the emails and documents that set them.
Nonprofits and Volunteer Teams
Every year, your organization starts over.
The next volunteer can ask what happened before they arrived and get a sourced answer from the emails and documents your team shared.

Setup takes minutes. No IT project. No team training.
Volunteer-run does not have to mean starting over every cycle.
Nonprofits run on people who eventually move on. When they do, the next person fills the role but not the knowledge gap.
Volunteers rotate. Context does not transfer.
Relationships and decisions leave with the inbox owner.
Grant commitments live in one person's email
Terms, deadlines, and requirements can disappear at handoff.
Board decisions vanish between meetings
Minutes rarely capture all the reasoning.
No time for heavy tools
Your team is busy. They will BCC an email address.
One email address. Zero learning curve.
Your team keeps doing exactly what they are already doing.

Re: Henderson grant - confirmed terms
Fwd: Reporting template and deadlines
Ask the questions that usually leave with the last volunteer.
These are the answers nonprofits keep needing after a role changes hands and the original email owner is gone.
- "What did the funder commit to for this grant?"
- "Which reporting deadlines are still outstanding?"
- "What did the board decide about the spring fundraiser budget?"
- "Who promised to follow up with the donor sponsor?"
- "What changed between the first event plan and the approved version?"
- "What did the last volunteer already negotiate with this vendor?"
Institutional memory stays tied to the grant, donor, or thread.
When staff and volunteers rotate, the safest answer is one that still points back to the original commitment or conversation.
Volunteer handoff
The next person can verify the context
A new volunteer can trace an answer back to the donor, board, or vendor thread instead of trusting a secondhand retelling.
Shared confidence
Partial history is still visible as partial
If only part of the organization's history has been shared, Dossier keeps the visible record inspectable so the team can judge what it knows.
Pricing
Simple pricing.
$99/month per organization.
Unlimited users. Unlimited threads.
Less than the cost of losing a grant deadline because the person who knew about it moved on.

Your team changes. Your mission does not. Dossier makes sure the knowledge stays.
A few practical questions for lean teams.
Dossier is designed to fit organizations with rotating volunteers, limited time, and no appetite for a big software rollout.
Will volunteers actually use this?
That is the point of the lightweight workflow. Teams do not need to learn a complicated platform. They can share the threads and documents they already work from.
Is this useful even if our history is scattered?
Yes. Dossier is built for teams whose history already lives across inboxes and files. It becomes useful from the record you start sharing now.
Can this help with grant and donor continuity?
Yes. Sourced answers are especially useful when a new staff member or volunteer needs to recover terms, deadlines, and prior commitments quickly.
Does this replace our board docs or shared drive?
No. It sits alongside those tools and helps your team recover what was discussed, decided, and promised across the threads and documents you shared.
How do you handle our data?
Your threads are never used to train AI models. Data is transmitted over an encrypted connection. Only members you invite can see your Dossier, and you can delete your data, export it, or close your account at any time.
