Corvane Ashmoor & Co. Paperwork kept current.
We start by reviewing your state record, so the board knows where things stand.
Annual reports and filings go on a calendar that doesn't depend on one volunteer.
Minutes, bylaws and key documents go into one archive the whole board can use.
Grant applications are assembled and checked against every funder requirement.

How the firm serves nonprofits and community groups.
- Annual report and state filing upkeep
- Grant application assembly and formatting
- Board records, minutes formatting and archives
- Donor and member spreadsheets
- Basic bookkeeping systems
Built for every corner of the sector.
We missed the annual report.
A volunteer moves on and the filing goes with them.
The grant is due Friday.
Applications are assembled at the last minute from scattered documents.
Where are the minutes from last year?
Board records live in personal inboxes and boxes.
The member list is three spreadsheets.
Donor and member data is duplicated, outdated and hard to use.

Tools for nonprofits and community groups.
Asked by nonprofits and community groups.
Can you bring our state filings current?
Yes. We review your state record and file the reports or reinstatement your board directs.
Do you write grants?
We assemble, format and check grant applications against funder requirements; the content and decisions remain the organization's.
Can you help us get tax-exempt status?
The application involves legal and tax judgment; an attorney or CPA should lead it. We organize the documents they need.
Do you work with churches?
Yes. We help churches keep state filings, records and member lists in order.
Can you help on a small budget?
We scope work to the organization's budget and quote it in writing before starting.
