Employees at top companies are mastering AI skills with the Workplace AI Institute
The average grant proposal takes 80 hours to prepare. AI can cut that timeline in half.
Grant writing has always been a grind. You research funders, draft needs assessments, build logic models, write narratives, assemble budgets, and format everything to exact specifications, often on tight deadlines with too few hands. Over 60% of nonprofits say staff capacity is their biggest barrier to applying for more grants.
AI can take hours of repetitive work off your plate, so you can spend more time on the strategic thinking and storytelling that actually win grants. This course shows you how to use AI across every stage of the grant cycle, from funder research to final reporting, without losing the human voice that makes proposals persuasive.
