We help top-tier nonprofit institutions streamline their operations with AI
Discover how we helped two nonprofit organizations save thousands of hours and time and investment with highly-optimized AI processes.
We have developed AI solutions to help nonprofits automate labor-intensive tasks
Pain Point: Too much staff time is spent on manual tasks—data entry, reporting, email follow-up, and compliance tracking.
Our Value: Tier One builds lightweight automations using AI and no-code tools that slash routine workload without needing IT hires. From syncing donor data across systems to automating grant reports, we help teams focus on mission, not spreadsheets.
Pain Point: Nonprofits sit on years of donor, program, and impact data—but struggle to use it to guide decisions. Or simply cannot collect this data.
Our Value: We turn scattered datasets into dashboards and predictive tools. Our tools help you see omni-channel trends, forecast funding gaps, and identify who’s most likely to give or churn—fueling smarter fundraising and outreach.
Pain Point: Funding is unstable, and many nonprofits lack technology to monetize their IP, services, or data ethically.
Our Value: Tier One helps design AI-backed products that generate income. Whether it’s a training platform, insights-as-a-service, or a white-label impact tracker, we scope revenue models nonprofits can own and sustain—without compromising their mission.
Pain Point: Most nonprofits can’t hire or direct full-time software engineers and manage complex builds.
Our Value: We offer full-lifecycle support—from scoping and low-cost prototypes to production-ready systems. You get clear roadmaps, vendor-agnostic tools, and AI builds designed for your staff’s skill level. No black boxes. No tech debt. Just smart systems that scale with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
We partner with mid- to large-sized nonprofits—typically with $3M+ in annual revenue OR nonprofits who are ready to use AI, automation, or technology to cut costs, boost capacity, or generate new income. If you have digital transformation and optimization goals but no internal tech team, we are your best team for this.
AI is great at automating repetitive work (like data entry or donor outreach), predicting trends (such as who’s likely to give), and generating content (like reports or training materials). It won’t replace staff—but it will help you do more with the people and data you already have.
Additionally, it can integrate and replace many off-the-shelf tools so you don't have to coordinate feature specific functionality across 10+ software to accomplish one goal.
Not at all. We specialize in helping nonprofits without in-house tech teams. We handle the technical work, explain every step in plain language, and design tools your staff can actually use—no coding or jargon required. Of course, if you already have an IT team, it will be helpful to interface with them to understand the challenges.
We are do not have a single pricing model as we find it best to adapt our pricing to the elastic nature of our nonprofit partners. Typically, we will ask for a $10k to $40K implementation pilot fee with some varying levels of usage based pricing. If the pilot is successful, we will refine the fees appropriately to reflect the value added.
Most projects move through phases: a few weeks to assess, 1–2 months to pilot, and another 2–4 months to launch something at scale. We use an agile approach so you see progress quickly and stay in control throughout.
Yes. We follow strict data privacy and security standards, and we tailor each project to meet relevant laws like HIPAA, FERPA, or GDPR. You stay the data owner—we don’t sell or share your info, ever. We are currently pending our SOC 2 compliance.
Global Education Organizations like NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship) and VEI (Virtual Enterprises International) have already integrated Tier One, reporting increased efficiency and improved educator and student outcomes. Their leadership highlighted that Tier One helps focus efforts on “the right problems in the classroom & for administrators.”
How 3 experts came together to empower nonprofits with AI
12+ years in education & training , 20+ years in software
Around November 2022, we found ChatGPT and realized that, as educators in the tech space, we should explore the ramifications of AI in education. We looked at our own schools and tried to identify where AI could help students and teachers.
We found that our staff were spending too much time doing admin work instead of what they wanted and love doing – teaching. We started applying AI to help with administration, data insights, and tools consolidation.
We then realized this problem doesn’t only affect education, but is widespread with nonprofits.
Now, we made it our mission to help nonprofits who don't have the resources of an enterprise-grade tech team.
