Overview
GrantForge turns nonprofit founders' answers to a short questionnaire into a polished, structured grant proposal draft in minutes—complete with executive summary, needs statement, project description, outcomes, and budget narrative. Instead of paying thousands to a grant consultant, nonprofits get a strong first draft they can edit and submit for $49. The system uses OpenAI to generate factual, expert-quality drafts, with a fallback template if the API is unavailable. Download as Word or PDF and start applying to grants immediately.
Mission
GrantForge — AI grant-writing assistant for small nonprofits
What we're building
GrantForge is a web app that turns a founder's answers to a short intake questionnaire into a structured first-draft grant proposal — executive summary, needs statement, project description, outcomes, and budget narrative — downloadable as a Word/PDF document they can edit and submit. A grant consultant charges thousands per proposal; GrantForge delivers a strong starting draft in minutes for $49.
Current focus — the MVP (shipped and live)
- Landing page — live: pitch, how it works, pricing, "Join the beta" email capture.
- The generator — live and verified: 9-question intake form → structured draft → download as Word or print-to-PDF. AI generation is LIVE: drafts come from OpenAI with a verified five-section structure, factual to the user's input, with an expert-template fallback (and an honest note) if the API is ever unavailable.
