Grant teams already have the evidence. We make it findable and citable.

Grant professionals, former federal reviewers and AI engineers, building from Assam, India for US mission-driven organizations.

Why we exist

Development teams at nonprofits, health centers and cities already hold the evidence they need to win grants: 990s, audits, outcome reports and past proposals. Under deadline, that evidence sits in folders nobody can search, and the same organizational history gets rewritten for every funder.

General-purpose AI made it worse. Drafts read well and cited statistics that did not exist. For a federal applicant, one fabricated number can cost an award and a funder relationship.

Vikash Kumar founded ELIXIR CONSUMERS to build the opposite: a drafting engine that only writes what an organization can prove, structured around how reviewers actually score.

Operating principles

Cite or do not write

No sentence ships without a source in the customer's vault. A gap is reported, never filled.

Rubric before prose

We design around how reviewers score, not how chatbots write.

Customer data is not training data

Isolation and zero retention are architecture, not settings.

The writer stays the author

ELIXIR CONSUMERS removes assembly work. Judgment, strategy and relationships stay human.

Fast because deadlines are real

A section in 90 seconds matters most at 11 pm the night before.

Built with practitioners

Former reviewers, grant writers and Single Audit accountants sit on the product team.
