What Three Notch'd Nonprofit Solutions, LLC does

Three Notch'd Nonprofit Solutions, LLC, now operating as Whole Story Solutions, is a US-based professional services firm founded in 2021 that provides nonprofit funding strategy consulting. The firm partners with nonprofit organizations seeking to secure competitive funding from foundations, corporations, and public agencies, and over five years has helped clients secure more than $12 million in such funding. Services span the full funding lifecycle: prospect research, grant proposal development, logic model creation, reporting materials, and strategic storytelling that connects research, strategy, and narrative into funder-facing materials. The firm is positioned as a partner that helps nonprofits articulate their full organizational story beyond the character limits of typical grant applications.

The business operates as a founder-led LLC with no disclosed headcount, no office locations, no funding rounds, no partnerships, and no proprietary technology platform. Its technology stack is explicitly characterized as not applicable, and revenue is generated through custom-quoted consulting engagements rather than productized offerings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm does not offer an app, API, or SDK. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the company website (wholestorysolutions.com) serving as the primary digital presence and lead capture surface via "Get Started" and contact CTAs.

Distribution is direct: the firm delivers services through personalized consulting engagements with mid-market nonprofits, with no intermediary channels or marketplace presence. Marketing relies on content marketing through the Whole Insights blog, which publishes perspectives on grant funding, philanthropy, and nonprofit storytelling. In April 2026, the company rebranded from Three Notch'd Nonprofit Solutions to Whole Story Solutions to signal a broader, end-to-end funding strategy positioning rather than a narrow grant-writing focus.
