The problem it solves

Your team spends hours a week hunting for grants across scattered databases and websites, then racing the clock to draft strong applications before deadlines. Good opportunities get missed simply because no one had time to look.

Who it fits

A nonprofit grant writer or small development team managing multiple funding deadlines.

How it works

  1. Every day the system searches grants.gov and foundation databases for new opportunities
  2. AI screens each grant against your eligibility
  3. A draft assistant writes the application sections
  4. Deadlines are tracked automatically
  5. You receive a running list of matched grants and drafted sections in Google Docs
What you get

Grant matches and drafts ready before deadlines slip

You get a running list of grants you qualify for, complete with drafted application sections and deadlines tracked automatically for you.

What you get

A list of matched grant opportunities, draft application sections, and a deadline tracker.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Slack workspace, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
