Draft

1 free draft

Most funders use an online portal with their own specific questions. Upload the application PDF or paste the questions, and we'll draft tailored answers for every one, pre-filled with your org data. Rare funder wants a full proposal instead? We do those too. Copy answers straight into the portal, or export to Word or PDF.

How it works: Every AI draft pulls from your real numbers: revenue, service area, programs, population served. Built-in guardrails are designed to prevent generic filler and unsupported claims. Strong starting points for you to refine.

AI-generated draft
Regenerate

Hill Country Youth Alliance respectfully requests $50,000 from the Meadows Foundation to expand our after-school mentorship program serving 200+ at-risk youth in Travis County.

Over the past five years, our organization has demonstrated measurable impact in improving academic outcomes and reducing juvenile involvement for participating youth. With this funding, we will add two dedicated mentors and extend programming to three additional Title I schools in East Austin.

Portal questions by default. 8 proposal structures when you need one.

Most grants are portal Q&A. For the rare funder that wants a full narrative, we generate the right structure for how you're asking.

Frequently asked questions

Drafts are strong starting points, not finished submissions. Every draft pulls from your organization's verified data (IRS revenue, service area, programs, population served). The system routes different sections to different AI models optimized for persuasive vs. structural writing, and filters out generic filler phrases. Expect to spend a few hours refining versus days writing from scratch.
Your data is stored securely and never shared with third parties. GrantDrop uses CSRF protection, session validation, encrypted connections, and file upload verification. You can export all your data or delete your account at any time from Settings. Privacy Policy · Terms of Service · Trust & Verification
GrantDrop costs a fraction of Instrumentl's $299/month starting price. GrantDrop includes AI proposal drafting at every paid tier. Instrumentl's AI writing (Apply Advisor) starts at $499/month and requires uploading 5 or more past winning proposals before it works. GrantDrop also supports AI drafting for government grants, which Instrumentl's Apply Advisor excludes. See the comparison table above for a full breakdown.
GrantDrop currently has the deepest data coverage in Texas: all 254 Texas counties mapped, state-specific grant sources (TX eGrants, TGRC), and the densest foundation coverage in the state. Federal grants from SAM.gov and Grants.gov are available nationwide. We are expanding state-level coverage over the coming year.
You're in the right place. Start with our free Grant Readiness Assessment to see where you stand. When you create an account, GrantDrop pulls your nonprofit's information from IRS records automatically, so you don't need to enter it manually. The platform walks you through each step with guided prompts. And if your annual budget is under $100K, you can apply for our Scholarship Program to get full Pro access at no cost.
Yes. Every draft can be exported to DOCX (Microsoft Word) or PDF. The built-in rich text editor lets you edit, add formatting, and adjust per section before exporting. You own everything you create in GrantDrop. We do not claim ownership of AI-generated content, and your content is never used to train AI models.
You can downgrade to the free plan at any time from Settings. Your data stays accessible on the free tier (with free-tier limits). If you want to leave entirely, you can export all your data and delete your account. We offer a 30-day pro-rated refund guarantee on all paid plans.
Every grant opportunity is scored against your organization across five dimensions: mission alignment (35% weight), geography (25%), funder fit (20%), budget fit (10%), and deadline proximity (10%). Matches are tiered A, B, and C based on overall score. When you update your profile or add enrichment data, all matches are automatically re-scored.
Exported documents do not contain watermarks, metadata, or AI identifiers in the file properties. The output reads as standard grant language because it's grounded in your specific organizational data, not generated from generic templates. That said, always review and personalize your draft. Funders can tell the difference between a proposal that reflects genuine organizational knowledge and one that doesn't, regardless of how it was written.
Yes. GrantDrop supports affiliated organizations and fiscal sponsor relationships. Affiliated nonprofits can register under a parent or sponsor organization. If you manage grants across multiple orgs and want to discuss how this works for your setup, reach out at support@grantdrop.com.
