Only 11% of funders provide nonprofits with support for AI implementation, and fewer than 20% of nonprofit leaders say their funders have even discussed AI use with them (Source: Center for Effective Philanthropy, AI With Purpose). Nonprofits are largely figuring this out on their own, without guidance from the very funders reviewing their proposals. Amped Grants gives your team a more thoughtful, supported way to bring AI into your grant writing, built around your organization's voice and programs.

Quick gut check:
Have you ever submitted a grant that you felt good about…but weren’t 100% sure?

Not because you didn’t try hard enough. But because you used AI to help—and you’re not totally sure what slipped through.

That’s the tricky part about AI. It’s not the obvious stuff. It’s the things that sound right but aren’t quite right.
- Slightly off stats
- Generic phrasing
- Mission language that doesn’t fully land
- Repetitive punctuation patterns, like frequent use of em dashes, that can make writing feel AI-generated

Before your next submission, run a quick check.

The holiday rush sneaks up fast, and by the time it hits, your window for real prep work is gone. Our latest blog breaks down three things to do before Halloween to set up a stronger end-of-year giving season: clean and segment your donor data, schedule your major gift meetings before calendars fill up, and build out your campaign calendar (including an honest look at whether Giving Tuesday is actually worth your team's time).
