I am submitting a grant soon to a funder that I previously submitted to and was successful at getting funding from. Thinking I can dump in the previous submission as a sample, use the same categories, and ask chatgpt to merge in the pieces of new content written by the various partners and put the content in the appropriate categories..can it do that? I have zero time to get this grant submission together and have big time been procrastinating on it
Hello Kim! So glad I have run across your site! I am brand-new at this process. My parents own a decent sized nonprofit in the Hawaiian Islands (about 45 acres). We specialize in endangered species of plants and reforestation. My parents are getting older so I'm slowly starting the process of taking things over. Scary! Anyway, it's time to take the project to the next level. You had mentioned a template you have called "the mother of all grant applications template". I love the title. I would also be curious to know your input on organizations like InstrumentL??
Hi - thank you for the comment! The link to get the template is in the description above . I haven't tried InstrmentL yet, but I will take a look!! I am open to hearing more about your organization and some of the ideas you have coming up for this important transition. Maybe I can provide some clarity, I love working with environmental organizations. Feel free to book a time on my website or add me on LinkedIn if you want to chat! www.cedarfundraising.ca
Thank you for the comment! I recorded this video over a year ago and it seems like the whole world has changed since then when it comes to AI. Even so, I still give basically the same advice when using ChatGPT to help write grants, you still need the human in the equation (thank goodness!)
The problem im seeing that chatgtp when I submit a piece of a story or something, it seems to not be able to cover much. I like it, but can't submit much for its editing help.
Which Grant is easier to obtain, Corporate Personal Grant, or Buisness grant,s? Is using Ai good for writing grant,s? Fund Raising or Grant,s which is easier, for trying to obtain personal money? Thx, God Bless you for all that you di to help folk,s/ Clayton
Great video. FYI, I use the newest (paid) edition of ChatGPT, and you are able to really personalize the responses and tone of the writing. Also, I specified that I want citable sources for statistics and other hard information, and so far, it delivers pretty well. I'm still getting used to interacting with it, I keep treating it like an answer-bot instead of a chat bot, thanks for the helpful tips on how to herd it along!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the upgraded version of chatGPT Jessica! I filmed this back in March '23 and so I'm sure the technology is already improved a great deal. I've also found the Bing chatbot to be useful for research and finding supporting details for proposals as it provides the sources.
I've heard that donors have started using AI-detection tools while reviewing grant proposals to detect whether a piece is human-generated >> with the possibility of rejecting a proposal if a big percentage is ai-generated. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
That's interesting, I haven't heard of this... it seems to me that the point of a grant application is to convey the information necessary to making a funding decision, not to produce original content! I would suspect that a funder would be mainly concerned as to whether the information is correct and authentic. Sometimes chatGPT will fabricate statistics and even quotes, so grant writers should be mindful of this by verifying facts and updating any quotes with actual testimonials. As with all AI-generated content, it is best practice not to copy and paste it directly, but use it as a framework or starting-point. For grants, I still think it is best to feed chatGPT with content you have already created and then prompt to rephrase or rewrite to fit the parameters of the question. Also note: Since creating this video I have also learned more about privacy concerns with the free version of chatGPT and encourage fundraisers to understand these before inputting donor data. I have an update here: ua-cam.com/video/0lb7AM2lCZM/v-deo.html
I think Chat will be like having 5 excellent employees who are always there. I’m just getting start writing grants for my nonprofit and know this tool will help me build a better world. Supreme introduction to Chat by you. Very informative; I’ll subscribe.
Nice post Kim! This is one of the areas I feel generative language AI can be a positive impact on the nonprofit sector. Still a human element need to review and refine responses, but it will save time and spark new ideas on responses. Thanks for sharing your take on how AI can impact the grant application process.
Great video! Super timely and relevant. ❤
Hi can you please share your template you mentioned?

they're looking at numbers and reasons to give funds. AI is the future, they'll be using it in their own businesses.
Will you show us grants for LLC
