Introduction to Neralake

Neralake helps nonprofit leaders build clear plans with their teams and turn them into day-to-day priorities, progress, and accountability.

Product Features

How Neralake supports your workflow

Each part of Neralake is designed to help teams move from planning to action, without adding complexity or extra work.

Build a real plan, together

Neralake walks your team through a guided planning process built for real nonprofit work. Include all the voices that matter through built-in surveys, then shape a clear, shared plan together. You bring your people and priorities. We take care of the process.

The text on the right reads "Identify Barriers" with a progress bar at 50% and a "Continue" button below. Icons for "Audio Recorded," "AI Powered," and "Group Activity" are at the bottom, conveying an informative and structured approach.

Keep your plan moving

Neralake gives teams a simple rhythm for implementation. Hold strategy check-ins, capture what people are working on, and see how efforts connect back to your goals. The focus is on learning and momentum, not oversight.

Who it's for

Neralake is for nonprofit organizations that believe in the power of planning but need a more realistic way to make it happen

Teams planning for the first time

Neralake walks your team through a guided strategic planning process built for real nonprofit work. Include all the voices that matter through built-in surveys, then shape a clear, shared plan together. You bring your people and priorities. We take care of the process.

Teams ready to try again

You've been through a planning process before, but the plan didn't stick. Neralake helps you build a new one and gives your team the tools to follow through this time.

Teams in need of momentum

You already have a strategic plan. What you need is a way to keep it alive. Use our import feature to bring your plan into Neralake and turn it into something your team works with every week.

Product benefits

Benefits of a strategy that feels manageable

By keeping planning and follow-through connected, Neralake helps leaders focus on what matters without carrying everything alone.

Full team ownership

When your team helps shape the strategy, they carry it forward. Neralake brings every voice in through surveys, then gives everyone a shared view of the plan and where it stands. Ownership and visibility, in one place.

Clarity without overwhelm

When planning and daily work are connected, leaders don't have to hold the entire strategy in their heads. The whole team can see the plan and their part in it.

Confidence when it counts

Board meetings, funder reports, annual reviews. When asked how things are going, you shouldn't have to scramble. Neralake turns the work your team is already tracking into clear, shareable updates, so you can walk into any room ready to tell your story.

Time back for the work that matters

Strategic planning shouldn't take six months and a full-time effort. Neralake's guided process helps your team build a real plan in a fraction of the time, so you can get back to the work your community depends on.

Planning at a fraction of the cost

High-quality strategic planning has historically been reserved for organizations with the budget to hire outside help. Neralake changes that. A complete, guided planning process starting at $139/month for your whole team. Not per user. Not per seat. Your whole team.

Testimonials

Built and tested with real plans

What we built with Neralake in one day closely aligned with a strategic plan our Board developed months earlier through multiple workshops and at a substantially higher cost.”

The team at Neralake were all very supportive throughout the process and helped us navigate it with relative ease. I think this platform will be a game changer for non-profits and small businesses looking to up their strategy game!”

A dedicated team who’s been in your shoes

Our team has spent years inside nonprofit organizations, leading planning processes, facilitating board meetings, and trying to keep strategies alive with limited time and resources. Neralake comes from that experience. We built it because we know how hard it is to keep a plan moving when the real work never slows down.
