Statement of Need

RFP-aware suggestion
The funder prioritizes "measurable nutrition outcomes" — add a target metric to Goals.
The math is simple.
Same quality first draft. A very different line item in your budget.
Traditional grant writer
- $1,000–$5,000+ per proposal — win or lose
- 2–4 weeks of back-and-forth per draft
- So expensive you can only afford 1–2 applications a year
$3,000 /avg proposal
GrantDraft
- $29/month flat — 5 proposals included, Org plan unlimited
- First full draft in an afternoon, not weeks
- Apply to 10x more grants — more shots, more wins
$29 /mo
A human always reviews and submits — GrantDraft just gets you to a strong first draft fast.
Priced for the nonprofits doing the work.
The other tools are built to sell into large organizations with grant teams and procurement cycles. We built GrantDraft for the executive director drafting a proposal at 10pm on a Tuesday.
Pricing and features shown are based on publicly listed information as of 2026 and may change.
Built for grants. Not for generic AI slop.
Generic chatbots will happily invent statistics, miss the funder's priorities, and produce confident-sounding paragraphs that get your application rejected. GrantDraft is different on purpose.
- Invents statistics and outcomes that aren't true
- Writes one long blob — hard to edit, easy to spot
- Ignores the funder's RFP language and priorities
- No grant structure (Need, Goals, Methods, Evaluation…)
- No reviewer mindset — you find the gaps after submission
- Honest placeholders. Facts the AI can't know are flagged
[INSERT: …]instead of fabricated. - RFP-aware drafting. Paste the funder's RFP and we mirror their priorities, evaluation criteria, and vocabulary.
- Real grant structure. Section-by-section: Statement of Need, Goals, Methods, Evaluation, Budget Narrative — each editable on its own.
- Scored like a real reviewer. We check your draft against the same kind of scoring checklists funders use (NIH, NSF, community foundations, and more) and tell you the top three things to fix before you submit.
- Your org, reused. Mission, programs, and outcomes are saved once and applied to every grant — no copy-pasting the same context every time.
GrantDraft gives you a strong first draft. A human always reviews and submits — that's the point.
How GrantDraft works
1. Add your org & the funder
Tell us your mission, focus areas, and paste the RFP. We reuse this for every grant.
2. Generate section by section
Goals, Methods, Evaluation, Budget Narrative — each drafted with funder language in mind.
3. Edit, export, submit
Every draft is yours to edit. Honest placeholders for facts the AI can't invent.

Ask your AI assistant about us
Plain facts about GrantDraft, written so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot can read and quote them accurately.
- What we sell
- GrantDraft is an AI grant writing assistant. It turns your mission, program details, and a funder's RFP into a structured first draft — Statement of Need, Goals & Objectives, Methods, Evaluation, and Budget Narrative — then critiques the draft against real funder scoring rubrics. Drafts export to Word.
- Who it's for
- Small and mid-size nonprofits, usually teams under 20 without a dedicated development director — executive directors, program managers, and volunteer grant writers — plus consultants who want a faster first draft.
- Price range
- Free trial covers one full proposal with no credit card. Pro is $29/month for 5 proposals per month. Org is $99/month for unlimited proposals. Cancel any time.
- What makes it different
- It won't invent statistics. Facts it can't know come back as [INSERT: …] placeholders. Drafts mirror the funder's own RFP language, and a built-in critique pass scores them against NIH, NSF, foundation, and corporate review criteria. It also runs inside Claude and ChatGPT as an MCP connector.
Machine-readable summary: /llms.txt
Grant writing shouldn't take 60 hours.
Most small nonprofits don't have a dedicated development director. GrantDraft gives you a structured first draft you can edit instead of a blank page you can't.
