Yes, You Can Use AI to Write and
Win Large, Complex Grants!

"I was just awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Lilly Foundation!

I took your grant writing workshop during the beginning of the pandemic and was totally overwhelmed and thought I'd never be able to get a grant for my work area.

Then I received your email about attending a training to learn how to write a grant 1 hour…using AI. I went [and] was totally amazed.

Before noon that day I had an 8-page draft of a potential grant.

Using AI, I was able to put together the structure and bones of a good proposal. By the end of my work (about 2 weeks), I had 20 pages of a proposal in a total 47-page grant.

I tell everyone that your training on using AI to write a grant launched me into the writing process.

I'm beyond excited. Thank you for what you do."

If you want to have the basics of a winning proposal drafted and just need to fine-tune it to your specific needs then this is something you should try, especially as a new or small nonprofit.

Thank you for doing this. It cleared some of the fear of trying something new and encourages me to see how this could positively impact my non-profit's ability to get successful proposals drafts , evaluation plans created, and program roadmaps created fast."

"I highly recommend taking this class as it has the potential to change your life for the better.

The program provided me with insight into the best prompts to ask ChatGPT to generate more effective grant proposals. I found the entire program to be incredibly helpful and informative.

My experience has been great, and I am confident that anyone who wants to improve their grant writing skills will find this program to be highly valuable."

"This is revolutionary for a small nonprofit with limited resources.

I have submitted several successful grants to government entities, foundations, and individual donors. I joined to learn how to streamline and accelerate the process to achieve more detailed and impactful proposals. In the training, I have learned the iterative effectiveness of prompting and my favorite thing about the training has been having my mind blown!

I would absolutely recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn to write grants with AI. Thank you for taking the time to develop this course and share it. What a time-saver."

Khaim
Morton

"I highly recommend this training and education to anyone who wants to boost their productivity.

As someone who has written grants for non-profits and private sector companies, as well as local, state, and federal entities, I can say that while I have had some success, I recognized that there is always room for improvement. That's why I decided to sign up for the AI grant writing training program.

Thanks to the program, I learned how to write prompts that generate the information I need, as well as different types of prompts that help me write various sections of the application. Once I understood how to use the tool, I was amazed at how quickly I could complete tasks.

The training was certainly helpful for me, and I am excited to continue using the workbooks provided."

Melissa D.
Guerrero

"Thanks to the training, I now know how to apply for more grants than I ever thought possible as a regular person.

Despite putting in several grant applications, I had yet to win any. That's when I decided to enroll in the AI grant writing program with the goal of learning how to complete grant applications quickly so I could apply for more.

One of the key takeaways from the program was how to make a conversation with the AI to get a more customized grant proposal. This was incredibly helpful in showing me how to tailor my proposals to the specific requirements of each grant.

I learned a lot in the training and was able to complete writing a grant proposal, with the exception of the graphics and budget narrative required by federal grantmakers.

Overall, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their grant writing skills."
