Lakeshore Youth Works serves out-of-school young adults ages 16 to 24 across three ZIP codes on Milwaukee's near north side, where the disconnected-youth rate is 21.4% against a statewide 9.8% . Of the 618 young adults referred to us in FY2025, 47% had no high school credential and 71% reported no earnings in the prior quarter . The two remaining pre-apprenticeship providers in the area closed waitlists in March 2025, leaving 212 referred youth without a placement .

Your mission is changing lives. Your development team is trapped in paperwork.

Grant writers should not spend days rewriting the same organizational history, pulling census tables and recalculating indirect costs across fifteen funder templates. When deadlines collide, narrative quality drops and scored sub-criteria get missed. ELIXIR CONSUMERS gives your team its institutional memory back, so you can submit more proposals without adding headcount.

Questions, answered

Does ELIXIR CONSUMERS guarantee we will win grants?

No. Awards depend on funder priorities, competition and your program. ELIXIR CONSUMERS makes sure every scored criterion is answered, every limit is respected and every claim traces to your own evidence, which removes the avoidable reasons proposals lose points.

How does it prevent AI hallucinations?

Drafting is grounded only in documents in your Knowledge Vault. Each sentence carries a citation tag to the source document and page. If a claim has no supporting source, ELIXIR CONSUMERS flags the gap and asks for evidence instead of writing a number.

How long does it take to set up our Institutional Vault?

Most teams upload their core set (three years of 990s, the latest audit, board roster, staff bios and five to ten past proposals) in one afternoon. Indexing finishes within the hour, and the first cited draft is usually produced the same day.

Can multiple grant writers collaborate on the same proposal?

Yes. Proposals support section assignment, inline comments, suggested edits, version history and an approval step before export. Growth includes five seats; Enterprise and consultant workspaces scale further.

How does ELIXIR CONSUMERS handle Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) budget rules?

The budget builder follows the Subpart E cost principles, uses your negotiated indirect cost rate or the 15% de minimis rate on modified total direct costs, and flags items that commonly draw audit questions, such as entertainment, alcohol or unapproved equipment purchases.

What is your data privacy posture?

ELIXIR CONSUMERS is SOC 2 Type II audited, encrypts data with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, isolates every tenant, and never uses customer documents or drafts to train public or shared AI models. A DPA and HIPAA BAA are available.
