The Workflow
Match Mission with Grants
Sync your organization's mission and impact data with a grant database API. Filter for grants that match your location, sector, and funding needs.
Watch out: Don't apply for everything. Focus on the top 3-5 grants with the highest alignment to save effort.
Extract Grant Requirements
Use AI to read the grant guidelines (often 50+ pages) and extract the exact questions, character limits, and required attachments.
Watch out: Missing a single required attachment can lead to immediate rejection. Use a strict checklist.
Draft the Proposal
Have Claude draft the responses to the grant questions, incorporating your organization's specific impact metrics and success stories.
Watch out: Ensure the tone is passionate yet professional. Avoid generic "AI-speak" by providing real human stories as context.
