Staff input addedReference documents
Inputs and references are saved with each generated version.
Grounded in what your team knows.
Grantwell drafts from what your team knows about the project, not from the funder’s language alone. The more specific the inputs, the more useful the starting point your reviewers get.
- Requirements extracted from the funding notice
- Your organization profile and staff input for each section
- Reference documents and the grant’s output and outcome targets

A considered process.
Section by section.
Grantwell extracts the narrative section requirements from the funding notice, then works in three passes.
Outline
The funder’s own sections, in their order, with their point allocations and word or page limits as the frame for the draft.
Draft
Your project facts and reference documents become the narrative. A section without staff input is marked for completion rather than invented.
Review
A review pass checks for unsupported claims and altered figures. Your team verifies the final draft before submission.
Refine the story.
Keep the context.
Edit inline or generate a new version as your project evolves. Each generation saves a snapshot of the inputs and reference documents, so reviewers can see what informed the draft.
- Edit the narrative with your team’s final details
- Revisit earlier versions and their source materials
- Export to Word or PDF for your application package
Every draft has a record.

Frequently asked questions
What information do we need to provide?
Start with the funding notice and your organization profile, then add project details for each narrative section, output and outcome targets, and relevant reference documents. Planning documents, needs assessments, quotes, budgets, support letters, and prior narratives can inform the draft.
What happens when project details are missing?
The drafting workflow marks missing information for staff to complete and checks for claims the inputs do not support. Staff still need to review every draft because AI-generated text can contain errors.
Can we edit and export the narrative?
Yes. Staff can edit inline, regenerate a draft, and export to Word or PDF. Each generation is stored as a new version with the inputs and reference documents used.
Does Grantwell submit the application?
No. Your team verifies the narrative, completes the required application materials, and submits through the funder’s required process. Grantwell does not communicate with funders or make submission decisions on your behalf.
