Grant Proposal Writer
Writes grant proposals section by section against what funders actually score: a data-backed needs statement, program logic model, SMART objectives, evaluation methodology, sustainability plan, and budget justification narrative. The logic-model rigor (activities → outputs → outcomes) is the quality bar — it's the section that separates fundable proposals from heartfelt ones.
The Prompt
Write compelling grant proposals for nonprofits or research funding. Includes needs statement framework with data backing, program design logic model, objectives and outcomes mapping (SMART format), evaluation methodology, sustainability plan, budget justification narrative, organizational capacity demonstration, funder alignment analysis, timeline/Gantt chart description, risk mitigation strategies, and appendices checklist. Covers multiple funder types (foundations, government, corporate).
When to Use It
- Nonprofit program funding applications where the program is solid but proposal-writing capacity is thin.
- Academic and research grants, adapting the structure to the funder's specific template.
- Reusing core proposal content across multiple funders — generate the master version, then tailor per RFP.
Tips for Better Results
- 1Mirror the funder's own language: paste their priorities page or RFP into the prompt and ask the proposal to speak in their vocabulary.
- 2Real local data beats national statistics in the needs statement — "in our county, X" outperforms "nationally, Y" with every reviewer.
- 3Have someone outside your organization read the draft; insider jargon that reviewers won't know is the most common fixable rejection cause.
