The Funding Engine

I'll Find at Least $25,000 Hiding in Your Nonprofit and Put an AI Employee to Work Bringing It In... or You Only Pay Half

First I find exactly where the money is. Then I build AI employees that work 24/7 to bring it in. Live in about two weeks, from $2,500.

That's my AI front desk. It books you a time with me.

When everything runs through you, some funding never comes in

Lapsed donors. Unpaid pledges. Declined monthly gifts. I've been hired to consult with over 317 organizations, from St. Jude to Sony Media. Every single one had uncollected money, and needed three things to get it.

  1. Discovery to find the money.
  2. A plan to go get it.
  3. The systems and manpower to get it done.

But most leaders are too busy to pin down #1 and #2. So they bolt AI onto #3... and get mediocre results faster, for more money.

We find the money, make the plan, then deploy ASIEs to get it done.

What's inside your Funding Engine

  • Your Funding Roadmap. We identify your top 3 untapped funding opportunities, ranked by what each one is worth.
  • 80/20 System Design. A step-by-step plan to go get that money, built around how your organization really runs.
  • ASIE Built and Deployed. We don't just consult. We deliver your AI system and all the training needed.

What's an ASIE?

Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee

An AI employee that does one job well, 24/7. Like...

  • A win-back rep who calls donors who stopped giving.
  • A pledge tracker who follows up on every open pledge.
  • A monthly-giving rep who calls about every declined gift.

How it works

Your Funding Engine, up and running in about two weeks.

  1. Discovery.

    You, me and your key people walk through how the organization really runs and dig into your real numbers.

  2. Deep 80/20 planning.

    We focus on fundraising and operations, find high-leverage ways to capture untapped funding, and map it out in your Funding Roadmap.

  3. Build and launch.

    We build and deploy your first ASIE so you see results right away.

What I need from you

  • Between 30 minutes and 3 hours of your time in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready.
  • Short conversations with a few of your key people, only where they help.
  • Access to the whole organization, like your donor records, fundraising, financial records and any training your team works from. A non-disclosure agreement keeps all of it confidential.
  • Nobody on your team has to build or maintain anything.

Pick your Funding Engine

Every option includes your Funding Roadmap and the build. Your Funding Roadmap decides where each ASIE works.

Your fee carries forward. Add more ASIEs within 60 days of your Roadmap and every dollar you paid counts toward them.

Hosting runs about $100 to $500 a month after delivery.

Terms. Start with a 50% deposit. The other half is due on delivery.

Not sure how many you need? That's normal.

My promise to you

If we don't find 10x your Funding Engine fee in untapped funding opportunities, you only pay half.

You pay half to start. On a $2,500 Funding Engine, if we don't find at least $25,000, that's all you ever pay.

Worst case, you pay $1,250 and still see exactly where the money is.

Every dollar we count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. You and I sign off on the total together.

What happens when I build the employee

Real companies. Real systems. Every number here is from a real client.

CopywriterMarketer

37,000 students

Mentored on their own custom learning paths by one AI system I built.

BrickROI

40 days

From zero to built, branded and selling.

"Another team burned six months and $57,500 of mine with nothing to show for it. Joshua had my whole platform built, branded, and selling in under 40 days. He doesn't just write code, he understood my business and built exactly what it needed."
Founder, BrickROI

AI Beauty Consulting

10 hours to 30 minutes

For every client assessment, with no drop in quality.

"Every client assessment ate more than ten hours, and I was the only one who could do them. Joshua built me an AI system that runs the whole thing in my own voice, and now it takes about thirty minutes with no drop in quality. He handed me back my business."
Susan Kuse, Founder, AI Beauty Consulting

TabulaWorks

1 system

Runs an entire company's daily operations.

"Joshua engineered the AI operating system that runs TabulaWorks. The daily operations and follow-up that used to eat our team's evenings are all carried by the system now. It runs without us, and it's why we can serve the clients we do. He understands the business as well as the engineering, which is almost impossible to find."
John Hare, Co-Founder, TabulaWorks

The work hasn't changed. I find the money.

What's new is that I can now build the employee that goes and gets it.

Is this a fit?

This is a fit if...

  • You lead the organization, or run it with real authority.
  • You're already raising money, and you know your mission should be bringing in more.
  • Work slips through the gaps... donors nobody calls back, pledges nobody follows up on, monthly gifts that quietly fail, systems that don't talk.
  • You want it found and fixed in weeks, not studied for months.
  • You'd rather fix one thing well than buy another tool.

It's not a fit if...

  • You want a quick software recommendation. I'll happily point you to one.
  • You'd rather nobody looked at the numbers. That's fair. This needs them.
  • You want AI for its own sake, not for the mission.

Questions and answers

What exactly do I get?

Your Funding Roadmap, with your top 3 untapped funding opportunities ranked by what each one is worth. An 80/20 System Design built around how your organization really runs. And your ASIEs built and deployed, with all the training needed. One, two or three, depending on the option you pick.

What's the difference between the Funding Engine and the Funding Roadmap?

The Funding Engine is the whole project. The Funding Roadmap is the plan inside it... your top 3 untapped funding opportunities and how to get them. Your ASIEs are the build that goes and gets the money.

What's an ASIE?

An Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee. It's an AI employee that does one job well, 24/7, alongside your team or on its own. Think of a win-back rep who calls donors who stopped giving, or a pledge tracker who follows up on every open pledge.

How long does it take?

About two weeks for your Funding Engine to be up and running, with your Roadmap and your first ASIE. If something's bigger than two weeks allows, we trim the scope and keep the date.

How much of my time does it take?

For you, between 30 minutes and 3 hours in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready. For your team, short conversations, only where they help. Nobody has to build or maintain anything.

What if you don't find anything?

Then you only pay half. If we don't find at least 10 times your fee in untapped funding opportunities, the half you paid to start is all you ever pay, and you keep your Roadmap.

How do you count the 10x?

Every dollar we count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. You see every line, and you and I sign off on the total together.

Is this an AI pitch?

No. The diagnosis is my judgment, from 25 years of finding money for organizations like St. Jude and Microsoft. AI is the tool that does the work once we know where the money is. If the best move doesn't need AI, I'll tell you.

What does hosting cost?

About $100 to $500 a month in total, not per ASIE, starting after delivery. Simpler builds cost less, complex ones a little more. That keeps your ASIEs running.

Where does our donor data go?

Read-only access where possible. We sign a non-disclosure agreement, so everything you share stays confidential. Your data stays yours, and nothing is shared or mixed with anyone else's. I keep none of it unless your hosting needs it or we agree to it. If we stop working together, you get all of it back, and I verify every copy is deleted.

How many ASIEs do I need?

Start with how many jobs are leaving money uncollected. One clear job, one ASIE. Two or more, the bigger options. More than three, or several locations, we'll scope it with you on a call. Not sure? Call my AI front desk or talk it through with Joshua AI, and we'll size it together.

Why pay for this instead of a free consultation?

A free call can tell us whether we should talk. It can't find the money. This is the real work... interviews, your numbers, and ASIEs built and working.

What happens after?

That's up to you. Some leaders run with the Roadmap themselves. If you want more ASIEs built, your fee carries forward. Start within 60 days of your Roadmap and every dollar you paid counts toward them.

Why only 10?

Because I keep it small so each one gets my full attention before December 31.
