Funding and compliance, made manageable

More funding. Fewer late-night forms.

The Kelso Approach helps New Zealand community organisations find suitable grants, prepare credible applications and turn project records into funder reports and board financials.

Built for marae, Pasifika church trusts, sports clubs and small charities across Aotearoa.

What to expect

Useful AI, with your people in control.

01

Your committee approves every submission

02

Your facts and figures stay traceable

03

No invented outcomes or funding guarantees

From source documents to a finished draft

Your organisation's knowledge, ready when deadlines arrive.

Instead of starting from an empty document every time, The Kelso Approach builds a reusable picture of who you are, what you do and how you account for funding.

  1. 1

    Upload your organisation once

    Bring your constitution, latest annual return, key financials and a plain-language summary into one reusable organisational profile.

  2. 2

    Find grants worth pursuing

    Match your purpose, location and eligibility against relevant New Zealand funding rounds and see what needs attention next.

  3. 3

    Draft in your own voice

    Turn your real outcomes, numbers and history into a structured first draft shaped around each funder's questions.

  4. 4

    Report without rebuilding the story

    Use your bank export and project records to prepare accountability reporting and practical board financials.
