Sustainability in a Box™ · For organizations doing the work
When somebody asks what it costs, what happens when this grant ends, and who else could pay for it, you need numbers. Not another nice paragraph.

You do not have a full development department. You may have kept the work going with volunteers, small gifts and your own time. You know the work. The funding room has its own rules. This teaches you those rules while you build the plan.
We put your staff time, donated hours, supplies and real operating costs on one page. Then we set what you bring in now beside it, source by source, and name the next source to add. That is the plan you take back to the room.
Reviewers read your numbers against your activities. When they do not line up, they read risk.
In your $149 plan: the consistency check compares your budget, request, activities, outcomes and evidence, then lists what to fix before you ask.
Price the hours people give. Keep that number apart from the money you can spend. Blending them makes a budget look bigger than it is.
In your $149 plan: unpaid labor appears as a separate noncash value. It is never added to your cash cost or treated as match.
Some grants pay you back only after you spend. If you cannot cover the wait, a yes can still hurt the work.
This check is not part of the $149 plan. Use the free decision pack to test the cash gap on a specific grant.

Plain questions, a short lesson in each, and your answers save as you go.
A consistency check names what to fix before you ask.
Take it to your board, your staff or your next funder conversation.
Look inside · Fictional sample
Eight saved modules. Shown with an invented community organization and invented numbers.
Made for you if
Community health workers, food and family programs, youth programs and clinics that need to show the full cost of the work and more than one way to pay for it.
You do not get to call it priceless and fund it at zero. This puts a real number on the work, including the hours nobody has paid for yet.
Not this: It does not include Medicaid tools, bill Medicaid, enroll you as a provider or promise a payment.
1 finished file1 worksheet you keep
Finished files, worksheets and the places you work are counted separately, never added together. Every file is built from your answers the moment you download. Anything you skip prints as Not yet answered, so you can download early and again later.
What you bring
1 finished report
6 tabs in the Sustainability Numbers Workbook (Excel)
Filled in from your answers. Cash cost, unpaid-labor value and economic resources stay separate.
8 saved modules
Each one saves to your account as you go.
Free templates that pair with it
Free for everyone in the free template library. Not part of the purchase and not counted above.
A Sustainability Plan PDF: what continues, itemized costs, priced unpaid labor kept separate, your revenue mix and the next source to add. The same numbers in an editable Excel workbook.
Cash costs and the value of unpaid hours are kept apart, so the plan never overstates what you spend.
Made by the same generator buyers use, with the invented organization above. Nothing in them is real.
What it does not do. Medicaid tools are not included. No DSG review, no enrollment, billing, claims or payer contracts. No payment, contract or eligibility is promised.
Invented organization, invented numbers. Same PDF layout your plan uses. Not client results and not official rates.
