Telling your story to funders is a different kind of storytelling.
You can pitch your work to a customer, a board, or a journalist in your sleep. Funders read for something else, and that takes a craft most of us never trained for. Narrative & Angles is the workspace for that craft. See how funders perceive your organization, the angles ready to pitch this week, and the risks to address before your next application.

The three questions you turn over at 11pm.
How are funders going to read us? Which angles are actually fundable right now? What are they going to flag and quietly defer on? Narrative & Angles answers all three in one workspace.
How funders see you
A funding identity paragraph that names your character in funder eyes, not your category. The framing program officers would use when championing your grant internally.

The strategic risks to address
What funders are likely to misread, flag in due diligence, or quietly defer on. The trusted-insider note that no one else in your org will give you.
Prototype-stage organizations without a documented outcomes framework trigger skepticism from program officers, especially in behavioral health funding pipelines that increasingly require measured population-level impact.
Find the framing you're leaving on the table.
Most organizations have angles already, they're just framed for the wrong funder. Narrative & Angles shows you the higher-yield version side by side.
Caregiver Mental Health Access Gap
Needs framingFunders in behavioral health and family systems are increasingly funding the caregiver as the entry point into household-level health outcomes.
Supporting caregivers with mental health resources and wellness programming.
Reducing preventable care recipient crisis events by addressing the behavioral health needs of the unpaid caregiver, the most under-resourced actor in the family care system.
Same work. Sharper claim.
The reframing keeps your programming intact. It changes the language program officers will use to champion you internally.
Tied to outcomes funders measure.
Crisis events, hospitalization rates, and caregiver burnout are tracked categories. Wellness, generally, is not.
Names a population funders prioritize.
Unpaid caregivers are an emerging philanthropic priority. Wellness programming is a saturated category.
The opening paragraph you've been trying to write all year.
“Lupine Care occupies a funding niche that is underserved and increasingly prioritized: the mental health and wellbeing of caregivers themselves. In Los Angeles County, where an estimated 1 in 5 adults provides unpaid care to a family member, the caregiver is almost never the identified patient. Funders in behavioral health, aging services, and family systems are beginning to…”

Questions, briefly answered.
No. Narrative & Angles is upstream of writing. It tells you what to write about, which funders to target, and how to frame it. The writing is still yours.
The workspace adapts. Early-stage organizations get pilot plans showing how to build programming that unlocks specific angles. You can use Narrative & Angles before you have a single grant.
Your profile, your website (which we read with your permission), and your public 990 history if you provide an EIN. Nothing is scraped without your input.
On demand. Click "Refresh analysis" any time your work evolves, your funder list changes, or you want a fresh read.
Yes. The lead narrative and angles are designed to be copied into board memos, ED briefings, and proposal drafts.
