AI+ for Grant Writing

Win More Funding with AI-Powered Proposals

Win more funding. Without the generic-proposal trap.

You're writing strong applications — but funder research takes all morning, the theory of change never quite says what you mean, and the statistics trap lurks every time AI touches your evidence. This book gives you the GRANT Framework: a five-stage workflow from funder fit assessment through theory of change architecture to submission quality gate, plus the Grant Writing Prompt Toolkit (33 copy-ready prompts) and a clear safety framework for beneficiary data. Write better proposals, faster — and know exactly what's safe to share.

Who this is for

Anyone who writes grant applications as a primary or significant part of their role.

Arts administrators, cultural sector professionals, and creative practitioners applying for project grants. Public health, social work, and community development professionals seeking statutory and trust funding. Freelance grant writers and consultants. Cross-sector by design: the grant writing skill applies wherever you are competing for limited external funding.
