How Grant Wizard uses AI responsibly and what you should know.
Grant Wizard uses AI to accelerate and improve the grant writing process. Here is how AI powers different features:
Grant Search: AI searches the web for currently open grants, verifies deadlines and application status, and ranks results by fit against your organization profile.
Section Drafting: AI generates first-draft answers to grant application questions using your organization profile, uploaded documents, and RFP requirements. Every draft is clearly marked as AI-generated for your review.
Budget Generation: AI creates detailed budget line items based on your narrative, project concept, and funder requirements.
Project Concept Generation: AI analyzes your organization's strengths against funder priorities to suggest strategic project ideas.
Fit Analysis: AI evaluates how well your organization matches a specific grant opportunity.
AI-generated content is a starting point, not a final product. We strongly recommend:
• Review every draft carefully: AI may miss nuances specific to your organization or project.
• Verify all facts and statistics: AI can occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information.
• Check citations: Confirm that referenced sources, publications, and data points are accurate and current.
• Customize the voice: Adjust AI drafts to match your organization's tone and communication style.
• Validate budget figures: Ensure all line items reflect your actual costs and project needs.
The use of AI in grant applications is an evolving topic. Some important considerations:
• Check funder guidelines: Some funders have explicit policies about AI use. Always review the grant guidelines before submitting.
• Disclosure: When a funder requires disclosure of AI assistance, be transparent about your use of AI tools.
• Originality matters: Funders value authentic proposals that demonstrate genuine understanding of the problem and your unique approach.
• AI as a tool: Think of Grant Wizard as a highly capable writing assistant, not a replacement for your team's expertise and domain knowledge.
Your data is handled with care:
• Your data stays yours: Organization profiles, documents, and proposals are used only to generate content for your account.
• No cross-training: Your proprietary information is not used to train AI models or improve results for other users.
• Secure storage: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and stored on secure servers.
• Access control: Only your team members (with your explicit invitation) can access your proposals and organization data.
• Deletion: You can request account deletion at any time. After a 30-day recovery period, all data is permanently removed.
AI is powerful but not perfect. Be aware of these limitations:
• Knowledge gaps: AI may not have the latest information about newly announced grants or recent policy changes.
• Context understanding: AI interprets your organization profile as provided. Incomplete profiles lead to less accurate results.
• Grant status: While we verify grant status through web search, application windows can change rapidly. Always confirm directly with the funder.
• Cultural nuance: AI may not fully capture regional, cultural, or sector-specific conventions in grant writing.
• No guarantee of success: AI-assisted proposals improve efficiency but do not guarantee grant approval. Funding decisions depend on many factors beyond proposal quality.
Grant Wizard is committed to responsible AI use:
• Transparency: We clearly identify AI-generated content and provide tools for you to review and edit everything.
• Continuous improvement: We regularly update our AI models and prompts to improve accuracy and reduce errors.
• Feedback: Your feedback on AI-generated content directly helps us improve. Use the thumbs up/down buttons to rate results.
• Ethical development: We design features that augment human expertise rather than replace it.
