About SummitFlow
The grant deadline safety net for small nonprofits, built by one person who threw away his first attempt.
The short version
SummitFlow watches grant deadlines for nonprofits that do not have a development department. When you win a grant, it creates the report and renewal dates on the spot. It reminds you at 30 days, 7, 1, and day of, keeps nagging while anything is overdue, and copies your backup contact so nothing depends on a single inbox. It is built for the organization where one overloaded person runs grants out of an inherited spreadsheet.
Why it exists
Small nonprofits rarely lose grants because the writing was weak. They lose them because a date nobody wrote down slipped past quietly: the six month report on the award that came in March, the renewal for the funder who has given three years running. The stories repeat across every nonprofit community: a director back from vacation discovering a missed government deadline that funded a colleague's salary, a board questioning a development office over one forgotten foundation report.
The spreadsheet is not the villain. It is accurate about the past and silent about the future. SummitFlow is the noisy part: the reminder that arrives before the apology email.
Who builds it
SummitFlow is built by Ryan Kramer, a solo software developer. The first version of SummitFlow was a general project management tool. It had no customers, and it earned none, so it went in the bin and the name got a second life on a problem that actually costs people money. That history is part of why the product stays narrow: it does one job, the job spreadsheets fail at.
What it costs
Free during early access. $100 a month at launch, and founding accounts pay half that, $50 a month locked for life. Everything you enter exports back to CSV at any time, so your data is never stuck here.
