Week 1
Assessment
Fundación Horizonte · donors and giving
- Symptoms: 6 payment sources, spreadsheets that don't add up
- What we want to happen: know who gives and who leaves
Root cause: there is no single donor database.
SumaKit · The technology
The smallest solution your team will actually use.
We assemble your solution from pieces already working in other organizations: 70-80% is already built. We only build what is unique to yours, and adoption comes included.
- Every donation in one database, reconciled in 2 minutes (América Solidaria)
- 70-80% is already built and proven in other organizations
- Code, data and cloud in your organization's name
The difference
A custom system leaves you an invoice. SumaKit leaves you a solution that gets used.
Many organizations have already paid for technology nobody uses. The technology didn't fail: what was missing was deciding what to build and getting the team to adopt it.

Weeks 2 to 6
Solution in stages
Fundación Horizonte · donors and giving
- Pieces that already exist: integrations, CRM, dashboards
- What's unique: each bank's billing rules
70-80% was already built and proven.
Weeks 6 to 14
Adoption
Fundación Horizonte · donors and giving
- Main user: donor coordinator
- Training for the team that stays and 60 days of support
Usage signal: the monthly close comes from the dashboard, not Excel.

How we work
The same four decisions, before writing a line of code.
What we teach in SumaLab is what we do in every SumaKit project.
- 01
One problem, not ten symptoms
We start from the pain, not the tool. We review what you already have before proposing anything.
You take away: An assessment with the root cause and the priority.
- 02
The smallest solution
We reuse proven pieces and build in stages, each with its own return.
You take away: A solution in weeks, not years.
- 03
Make it stick
Adoption is included even if you don't ask for it: main user, training and follow-up.
You take away: A team that uses the tool without depending on us.
- 04
The number funders care about
We measure before and after with the indicator that drives your mission.
You take away: A dashboard and a case ready for your board or a fund.
Solutions already at work.

Weeks, not years
We start from 70-80% already built and proven in the field.
Adoption included
We train the team that stays and support you until it's used.
Everything in your name
Code, data and cloud belong to your organization from day one.
Capped cost
You know what it costs to run. No mandatory maintenance.
Would you rather your team learned to decide first?
In SumaLab your team learns the same method and arrives with a clear problem. SumaKit starts from there.
First step
The first step is an assessment.
30 minutes to understand your challenge and what you already have. We tell you what to build, what not to and what it costs. No cost, no commitment.
- 1You tell us the problem, not the solution
- 2We review what you already have running
- 3You get a staged proposal, with its cost
