title: "How to write grant applications with AI"
description: "Start by building a library of approved material: the mission, past program descriptions, outcomes you can evidence, budgets, staff bios and previous successful applications. For each new call, AI reads the guidelines and scoring criteria, makes a checklist of every required section, word limit and attachment, and drafts each section from the approved library while marking any claim that has no source. The grant lead checks every figure and outcome against the evidence, rewrites for the specific funder, and the director signs off before submission."

# How can a nonprofit, research team or small business use AI to draft grant applications faster without misstating anything to a funder?
Start by building a library of approved material: the mission, past program descriptions, outcomes you can evidence, budgets, staff bios and previous successful applications. For each new call, AI reads the guidelines and scoring criteria, makes a checklist of every required section, word limit and attachment, and drafts each section from the approved library while marking any claim that has no source. The grant lead checks every figure and outcome against the evidence, rewrites for the specific funder, and the director signs off before submission.
## What this means in practice
- Build a library of approved material and evidence.
- Read the guidelines and list every required section, limit and attachment.
- Draft sections from the approved library only.
- Mark any claim that has no source.
- Have the grant lead check figures and the director sign off before submission.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
