Operations Infrastructure for a Maternal Health Nonprofit
Maternal Health
As fractional COO for a maternal health nonprofit, QuantumPath moved the organization off founder-centric operations: three Salesforce systems built from the ground up, more than 30 SOPs in the first three months, and an operations leader upskilled to carry it forward.

The engagement
A maternal health nonprofit brought QuantumPath in to move away from founder-centric operations and build finance and operations systems that were documented, repeatable, and built to scale. At 15 to 20 hours a week, the engagement ran as a genuine COO seat: full ownership of the systems the organization would rely on for years, built alongside the person who would eventually lead operations internally, so the systems never depended on QuantumPath to keep running. QuantumPath designed and built three connected Salesforce ecosystems from the ground up. A grantmaking pipeline went live and stayed in daily use. A fundraising system covered investor pipeline management, prospect intake and qualification, and donation infrastructure. A vendor and contracting framework brought approval workflows directly into the platform. Each system reflects implementation from the ground up, not configuration of something already built. Compliance kept pace with growth. QuantumPath rewrote the organization's sick leave policy to meet California and Oregon requirements, using a hybrid structure that front-loads leave and layers in accrual, closing a gap before it became exposure. Self-guided testing exercises brought the full team into the new systems with confidence rather than leaving rollout to chance. In the first three months, the engagement produced more than 30 standard operating procedures, the backbone the organization still runs on. That documentation carried it through a fiscal sponsorship transition with the infrastructure already in place to support it. The organization now runs on finance and operations systems it owns outright, tested by its own team, and documented well enough to carry it through a major transition.
