Two ways to work together

Every engagement has a defined scope, a flat price confirmed before work starts, and something your team keeps when we are done.

$500

Program Rescue Session

Start here

For leaders with one program that's behind, stuck, or heading into a funder report unprepared.

  • A 60-minute working session on one stuck program
  • Where it stands: deliverables, deadlines, and owners
  • The top risks to your next milestone or report
  • One practical way AI could save your team time on this program
  • A one-page 30-day plan within 2 business days

One session. The full fee counts toward Fractional Program Manager if you start within 30 days.

$3,500a month

Fractional Program Manager

For grant-funded programs that are behind, over budget, or stuck, or teams without a program lead.

  • A first-week diagnostic of where things really stand
  • A recovery plan with milestones and clear owners
  • A weekly check-in and a status leadership can read in two minutes
  • A risk and decision log so nothing gets relitigated
  • Funder report prep every month
  • One new AI workflow a month to give your team time back
  • A recorded handoff so the program stays on track

Half a day a week. 3-month minimum, then month to month.

Tools are the easy part. Adoption is the work.

Most AI rollouts fail because people go back to old habits. We build the habits, the guides, and the proof, so the change lasts after we leave.

  1. Understand

    We learn how your team really works, where the hours go, and what is blocking delivery.

  2. Build

    We set up the plan, the workflows, and the tools on your real work, inside your own accounts.

  3. Prove

    We measure time saved and milestones hit, then hand off guides your team keeps.

Maria Helena Oliveira

Founder and Principal

I have spent more than 10 years running programs with lots of people and lots of moving parts, in the nonprofit world and at Google.

I founded Altura Program Partners to give nonprofit teams the kind of program leadership and AI know-how usually reserved for large companies. I am direct, I move fast, and I measure what changes.

I lead every engagement myself, with a small team of vetted specialists who build the technical pieces.
