Using AI in Grant Writing | Member

Overview

AI has changed grant writing forever. With more than two-thirds of nonprofits now using tools like ChatGPT, funders are increasingly wary of formulaic, chatbot-generated applications.  

So how do you make your proposals stand out?  By keeping your voice, values, and outcomes front and center.  

Join us for a practical crash course on using AI as a thought partner – not a shortcut – to write sharper, more persuasive proposals that sound like you.   

You’ll learn how to: 

• Apply a 5-step framework for thinking with AI while staying authentic
• Leverage 3 key differentiators to make your proposals stand out
• Use chatbots to pressure-test and sharpen outcome statements that funders care about 

Plus, you’ll get a look at Instrumentl’s AI tools, designed to help you move faster and with more confidence.
