Grant writing is repetitive but high-stakes
"We apply for 40+ grants a year, but every application feels like starting from scratch. I spend hours finding our latest outcomes data, rewriting our org description, and reformatting everything for each funder's requirements. And if I miss a deadline, that's real funding we lose."
Your org's knowledge, ready when you need it
Grant Proposal Assistant knows your organization inside and out—your programs, outcomes data, past proposals, and success stories. When a new RFP lands, you focus on strategy while Joy handles the first draft.
Upload the funder's requirements, specify the program and ask amount, and get a tailored proposal draft that sounds like your organization—because it's built from your actual materials.
From RFP to draft in four steps
Build your knowledge base
Upload your organizational materials to the Knowledge Center. Joy learns your voice, programs, and outcomes data.
Upload the RFP
Drop in the funder's requirements, guidelines, or application questions. Joy analyzes what they're looking for and matches it to your materials.
Generate your first draft
Tell Joy what to create: "Draft a $75,000 proposal for the Johnson Foundation. Focus on our Bridge to Work program, emphasize youth employment outcomes, and use a warm, story-driven tone."
Refine and export
Edit the draft, ask Joy to strengthen specific sections, and export to Word, PDF, or copy directly into grant portals.

What you'll get
Here's a sample proposal section generated by Joy:
Program Narrative — Youth Workforce Development
The Need: In our service area, 34% of young adults ages 18-24 are neither employed nor in school—twice the national average. These disconnected youth face compounding barriers: limited work experience, transportation challenges, and gaps in foundational skills.
Our Approach: Bridge to Work combines paid internships, skills training, and wraparound support to help young adults launch sustainable careers. Participants complete 200 hours of workplace experience while earning industry certifications in high-demand fields.
Outcomes (FY2024)
- 156 youth completed the program (94% completion rate)
- 78% employed within 90 days of graduation
- Average starting wage: $18.50/hour (+23% vs. prior cohort)
- 12-month retention rate: 71%

How do I tailor proposals to different funders?
Upload each funder's RFP or guidelines, and the AI analyzes what they care about—whether it's outcomes data, community engagement, or innovation. It adjusts emphasis, language, and storytelling approach to match each funder's priorities.
