Guide

Built for the human doing the work.

Bothy is the one place your grants manager works from. The next thing they need to do, the funder they owe a reply, the report due Friday. All in one quiet workspace, instead of seven.

Live with 42 pilot nonprofits. First 50 paid customers get a custom Bothy-verified opportunity build at signup.

Bothy /ˈbɒθi/— say it like 'frothy.' A free shelter in the Scottish Highlands.

Next thing today

Tue · 9:14 AM

Send the thank-you to the Cedar Trust program officer

You drafted it Friday. Last touch was 12 days ago. Two minutes of work, then you're onto the proposal.

Then this week

  • Wed · Stewardship call with Maple Family Fund
  • Thu · Q1 program update due to Cedar Trust
  • Fri · LOI deadline · River Foundation

The problem

The grant manager you can't afford to lose is using seven tools to log one thank-you note.

More tools weren't the answer. Nonprofit teams adopted more software than ever and burnout rose anyway. The pattern isn't compensation. It's the cumulative friction of doing relational work across disconnected systems.

Half of fundraisers say they'll leave their current role within two years.1 Replacing each of them costs the org roughly $50,0002 — not counting the funder relationships that go quiet during the three-month gap while a new hire reconstructs what the last person knew.

The person doing all the funding work at a small org is the one most at risk. And the one most expensive to lose.

The shape of the tool

Eight jobs, one quiet room.

Most fundraising software was built for donors or for grantmakers. Bothy was built for the person doing the work. The grants manager, the development director, the ED who's also the fundraiser. Their week is the design center.

Pipeline + scoring

Every grant in one view. Scored against your own weighted criteria. Stage-aware fields that match where each grant actually is in the cycle.

Funder log + stewardship

Past touches and future tasks live in the same place. Move a grant to Submitted and the tool suggests the natural follow-ups. Alerts when a relationship goes quiet.

Reports + relationships

Map a grant's reporting requirements once — Bothy builds the timeline, the component checklist, and the renewal arc. Submit a report and the thank-you, site visit, mid-cycle touch, and renewal LOI prep all show up on your calendar.

Built for teams, not single seats

Multi-user from day one. See who else is in the workspace in real time. Owner / admin / editor / viewer roles. Every change — grant moved, report submitted, note logged — leaves an audit trail you can scroll back through. Delete something by mistake? Restore it from the Activity tab.

Funder profile

Click a funder name anywhere and see every grant, task, report, and log entry tied to that relationship. Lifetime funded, days since last touch, full history.

Calendar + reminders

Deadlines, stewardship tasks, and report due dates in one calendar. Synced to Google, Outlook, or Apple via .ics. Email reminders 7, 3, and 1 days out.

Cmd+K search

One keystroke from anywhere. Searches grants, tasks, reports, funder log entries. The note you wrote three months ago, found in two seconds.

One-click Google sign-in

Most nonprofit teams already live in Google Workspace. Bothy uses Google sign-in by default — no password to forget, no rotation policy. If your address isn't on Google, a magic-link email is the one-click fallback.

Today the work lives across a grant tracker spreadsheet, the donor CRM's grant fields, a calendar, an inbox, a Drive folder, a notes doc, and the DMs where you store funder context. You built that patchwork out of necessity. Bothy replaces it with one place you actually want to open.

Beyond the workspace

Seven things you also get.

The six features above are what you see when you log in. These are what you get because Bothy is built by a small Louisville studio — not licensed from a vendor.

On every plan

CSV template + import from anywhere

Don't have a spreadsheet yet? Download our template and you're populated in fifteen minutes. Have a GrantHub export, a Salesforce report, or a working spreadsheet? Drag it in — we match columns automatically. Re-uploading is a no-op, safe to retry, idempotent by name + funder.

On every plan

Lapsed-funder alerts

Bothy notices when a relationship goes quiet. Funders with active grants but no log entry in 90+ days surface on your dashboard with a one-click path to their full history. The signal small shops usually lose to inbox volume.

On every plan

Free GrantHub migration

Stranded by the January 2026 sunset? Send whatever you have — a CSV, an invoice, a notes doc — and we'll do the data move ourselves, no setup fee. Same offer for Salesforce NPSP refugees.

Pro + Premium

Custom Bothy-verified opportunity research at signup

25–50 funders researched specifically for your org — geography, NTEE code, budget tier, program focus — and cross-referenced against authoritative foundation tax filings, IRS records, and our internal verified-funder library. Delivered as a populated pipeline inside your Bothy workspace — in your organization's colors — plus a written briefing on each fit.

On every plan

Board-ready reporting in one click

When it's time to update the board, Bothy turns your live pipeline into a one-page report — health tiles, pipeline by stage, upcoming deadlines, top opportunities, and editable commentary. Toggle the sections that matter, add your own narrative, and print. No copying numbers into a slide deck the night before.

All tiers

The Coach House team is the support team

Not a chatbot, not a ticket queue. Email hello@bothy.so and a real person in Louisville writes back. Most replies inside a business day; faster when something's actively blocking your work.

On every plan

Built like the SaaS you trust

HTTPS-only with HSTS preloaded; clickjacking-blocked at the browser; per-IP rate limiting on public endpoints; AES-256-GCM envelope encryption for any AI key you bring; row-level security so no workspace can read another's rows. Live system status is public at bothy.so/status. Soft-delete with a one-click restore from the Activity tab so nothing important disappears by accident.

From the pilots

What real customers actually see.

Two of the forty-two pilot nonprofits running on Bothy today. These aren't mockups; they're live dashboards you could open right now.

Highlands Community Ministries grant dashboard

Louisville, KY

Highlands Community Ministries

Interfaith multi-service ministry

Steven flagged a phantom grant deadline in May 2026. We fixed the data, shipped an in-tool feedback button, and pushed both fixes across every pilot dashboard the same day. That's the loop.

Educational Justice grant dashboard

Louisville, KY

Educational Justice

Youth mentoring + college access

Bryan runs grants alongside his ED role. The pipeline + scoring view is his weekly anchor. Each scoring criterion has a slider so the weighting matches the way he actually thinks about fit.

Pricing

Pick the tier by the shape of your shop.

Three scenarios, not three plans. Read the one that matches who's actually doing the funding work at your org. Cancel anytime. 14-day money-back guarantee on the subscription; custom research delivered with Pro + Premium setup is non-refundable once handed over.

If you're the only person doing the funding work…

You're a dev director, an ED who's also the fundraiser, or the one grants person at a small shop. Bothy stays out of your way: the full pipeline, stewardship, reporting, and funder log live in one workspace you set up yourself in an afternoon. We don't need a sales call. You don't need a seat for anyone else. Solo is the tool only — you bring your own funder list. We give you a CSV template; you fill it in (or paste from a spreadsheet) and your pipeline is populated. If you want us to research the funders for you, that's Pro.

If you're a team of two or three…

You've got a development director and an executive director, or a grants manager and a coordinator. The work spans more relationships than any one person can hold. Pro adds three seats, the full custom Bothy-verified opportunity build (25–50 funders researched specifically for your org), quarterly refresh of that list, and migration help if you're leaving GrantHub or Salesforce.

If you're running a coalition or a multi-program shop…

Five seats, monthly refresh of your opportunity list instead of quarterly, AI-drafted reports pulling from your grant + stewardship + log data, priority support, and a quarterly strategy review with the Coach House team. For orgs whose fund development depends on more moving parts than two-or-three can hold.

None of these fit? Or just a specific question?

Email hello@bothy.so — I read every one, usually reply within a business day, and we'll work it out. Any 501(c)(3) under $100K annual revenue gets 50% off Solo indefinitely — no all-volunteer requirement. Migrating from GrantHub or Salesforce NPSP and want the setup fee waived? Multi-org collaborative pricing? Just ask.
