Yes, You Can Use AI to Write Large Grants!
"I was just awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Lilly Foundation!
I took your grant writing workshop during the beginning of the pandemic and was totally overwhelmed and thought I'd never be able to get a grant for my work area.
Then I received your email about attending a training to learn how to write a grant 1 hour…using AI. I went - was totally amazed.
Before noon that day I had an 8-page draft of a potential grant.
Using AI, I was able to put together the structure and bones of a good proposal. By the end of my work (about 2 weeks), I had 20 pages of a proposal in a total 47-page grant.
I tell everyone that your training on how to use AI to write a grant is what launched me in the writing process.
SO - I just thought you would want to know that. I'm beyond excited. Thank you for what you do."

Rapidly Increase Your Grant Award Rate
If you know how to use AI effectively, it can help you write more compelling grant proposals by:
- Improving your program design by suggesting strategies, activities, and metrics and evaluation you may not have thought of otherwise. It can also research and suggest partners, benchmark similar programs, and contextualize your program within your local landscape.
- Helping you to develop a stronger narrative and argument. AI can help you to identify the most compelling aspects of your grant proposal and to develop a narrative that will resonate with the funder.
- Tailoring your writing to the specific needs of each funder. AI can analyze the funder's guidelines and identify their key priorities and evaluation criteria to tailor your writing to each funder.
Overall, AI can help you to write grant proposals that are more clear, concise, persuasive, leading to a significant increase in your grant award rate.
10X Your Grant
Writing Speed
The average foundation grant proposal takes 10-15 hours to write. Government grants can take 40 hours or more to produce. By automating many of the time-consuming tasks involved in grant writing, such as research, data analysis, and drafting boilerplate text, AI can free up grant writers to focus on the things that matter most, such as developing strong narratives and arguments or applying for even more funding.
If you're a busy nonprofit or government leader writing grants for your organization, you know that reducing the amount of time spent grantseeking will free you up to run and grow the nonprofit so that your grant funding has a bigger impact. If you're an academic, you can spend less time on grant writing and more time on research or teaching.
Create Reusable Building Blocks for Any Grant
One of the most powerful ways to use AI to improve your grant writing is to create reusable building blocks for any grant. These building blocks can be used to create a variety of grant proposals, from small foundation grants to large federal grants. We'll show you how to create reusable text blocks for your mission and history, statement of need, program designs, budget, and even logic model and then use AI to modify them for different funding opportunities.
Revise & Edit to Perfection
Once you have a draft of your grant proposal, use AI to revise and edit it for perfection. We'll show you how to effectively use AI to:
- Improve the global structure of your writing.
- Identify and correct grammar, usage, mechanics, punctuation, and spelling errors.
- Improve the readability and clarity of your writing.
- Suggest more concise and impactful language.
THE VALUE
OF AI EXPERTISE
A 2020 study showed that by 2025, job openings requiring AI or machine-learning expertise will grow by 71%. Not only that, employers are willing to offer an average of $14,175 more to job candidates with these skills (Burning Glass Technologies).
Workers who get value from AI have 3.4 times increased likelihood of job satisfaction.
In 2022, MITSloan Management Review reported AI tools have the potential to increase individual independence by facilitating learning from previous actions, predicting the consequences of current actions, providing useful information about relevant past situations, and delivering feedback on past outcomes to improve performance.
A 2023 McKinsey report says that up to 70% of the activities that workers do every day could be automated with AI, which would free them up to focus on more important things.

"I highly recommend this training and education to anyone who wants to boost their productivity.
As someone who has written grants for non-profits and private sector companies, as well as local, state, and federal entities, I can say that while I have had some success, I recognized that there is always room for improvement. That's why I decided to sign up for the AI grant writing training program.
Thanks to the program, I learned how to write prompts that generate the information I need, as well as different types of prompts that help me write various sections of the application. Once I understood how to use the tool, I was amazed at how quickly I could complete tasks.

"Thanks to the training, I now know how to apply for more grants than I ever thought possible as a regular person.
Despite putting in several grant applications, I had yet to win any. That's when I decided to enroll in the AI grant writing program with the goal of learning how to complete grant applications quickly so I could apply for more.
One of the key takeaways from the program was how to make a conversation with the AI to get a more customized grant proposal. This was incredibly helpful in showing me how to tailor my proposals to the specific requirements of each grant.
I learned a lot in the training and was able to complete writing a grant proposal, with the exception of the graphics and budget narrative required by federal grantmakers.
Overall, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their grant writing skills."
