For fundraisers

Your next bid, drafted from every bid you’ve written before.

Whether you write for one charity or ten clients, most of each application already exists somewhere in your drive. I can help you set up AI that knows your past bids, your organisations and your voice, so the first draft takes an hour, not a day, and your time goes on the part that wins the funding.

Sound familiar?

Every funder asks the same questions, in a slightly different order.

  • You know you've answered “What difference will this make?” a dozen times. Finding your best version takes longer than writing a new one.
  • Every trust has its own word limits, so each strong paragraph gets cut and rebuilt by hand.
  • Deadlines bunch up, and the bids you'd most like to spend time on get the least of it.

An example

A trust application, from blank page to first draft.

The old way

Most of a day finding past answers and cutting them to fit this funder's form.

The connected way

About an hour. The draft arrives in the trust's own format, ready for you to sharpen.

An illustrative example based on common workflows, not a client case study. Your own setup starts from the tasks you tell me about.

  1. Your bid library

    Past applications, reports, budgets and case studies go into one workspace you can question: “What outcomes did we report for the youth programme last year?”

  2. Paste in the funder's questions

    It drafts each answer from your own past work, in your voice and within the word limits, and shows you which document each part came from.

  3. You do the part that wins

    Your time goes on tailoring the argument to this funder, not on retyping the basics.

  4. Every bid improves the next

    Each finished application goes back into the library, so the next first draft starts stronger.

Questions

What fundraisers ask first.

All questions
Do funders allow AI in applications?

Some ask about it, and a few restrict it. This setup drafts from your own past work, and you review, edit and own every word before anything is submitted. I'll help you check each funder's policy and decide how you want to handle it.

Is our beneficiary and donor data safe?

Everything lives in your own accounts. Before anything goes in, we agree what stays out, and personal details of beneficiaries and donors usually do. I'll set up each tool's privacy and training settings with you.

I'm freelance with several clients. Can it keep them apart?

Yes. Each organisation gets its own workspace, so one client's figures never turn up in another client's bid.

Which bid would you most like to stop rewriting?

Tell me about it on a 30-minute call. If AI can take the first draft off your hands, I'll show you how. If it can't, I'll say so.
