You didn’t start a nonprofit to spend your nights on admin.
Acornly quietly takes the grant paperwork, deadlines and reporting off your plate — so you can get back to the reason you started.
Free to start · No card needed · Set up in minutes
We get it
We know what your week actually looks like.
- The funder report due tomorrow — and still a blank page.
- Three grants, three sets of rules, all of them living in your head.
- The deadline you only remembered at 3am.
- Being the founder, the bookkeeper and the grant writer — usually before lunch.
You’re carrying a lot. The admin shouldn’t be the part that breaks you.
Acornly keeps everything moving in the background — and taps you on the shoulder the moment something needs you.
How Acornly helps
See exactly what Acornly takes on.
01
Reads your paperwork
Turns documents into a tracker
Drop in an award letter or a sponsorship agreement. Acornly reads out the funder, amounts, requirements and deadlines — each with the exact line it came from, for you to confirm.
Before · the award letter
… confirm your community grant of A$24,000. A progress report is due by 30 September 2026, covering outcomes and acquitted spend for the funded period.

02
Writes your first draft
Drafts the reports you dread
When a funder report or acquittal is due, Acornly drafts it from the outcomes and spend you’ve already logged. You edit and send, instead of starting from a blank page.
This quarter, the program reached 480 young people across 12 sessions…
03
Keeps every date
One calendar for every promise
Grant deadlines, program deliverables and sponsor benefits in a single view — with reminders by email before each one’s due, so nothing creeps up on you.

From the team
Built in Australia, with the people who run small nonprofits.
We’re a small team building Acornly alongside the people who run small nonprofits, from day one. Every feature is shaped around what actually makes your week lighter. We’re taking on a small first group and building it with them — if that’s you, we’d love to have you in early. You’ll get the tools free, and a real say in where they go.

Pricing
Honest pricing, while we’re early.
We believe the smaller nonprofits need a helping hand, not a paywall. So we’re starting with a free tier that’s free for good. We hope we provide enough value to the bigger teams that they’ll want to pay it forward and support the smaller orgs too. We’re early, so we’ll be iterating on the pricing and tiers as we learn.
For the smallest orgs and anyone starting out. The core back office, free — not a trial.

Start & pay it forwardQuestions, answered
Before you start.
Yes — that’s exactly who it’s for. Acornly is built for small Australian nonprofits run by one or two people, not finance departments. If you’re under about A$1M and wearing every hat, you’re in the right place.
It stays yours. Your files live in your own Google Drive — Acornly keeps links, not copies. We hold the minimum we need to do the job, and nothing is shared or sold.
It’s free while we’re early. We’re taking on a small first group of nonprofits and building Acornly with them. When we set prices later, they’ll be fair and you’ll hear it from us first.
No. No card, no trial countdown. Start free and stay free for as long as we’re in early access.
The AI reads a document once, when you ask it to, and shows you the exact line behind everything it found. It never acts on its own — nothing is confirmed, sent, or scheduled without your say-so. Your content is never shared with anyone else, and we don’t use it to train our models.
Help the small become mighty
