Grant Writing

Harper writes complete grant applications using advanced AI with extensive research capabilities that answers each question thoroughly and accurately.

How It Works

Harper analyzes the grant application questions, searches your organizational memory and the web for relevant information, writes comprehensive responses for each question, uses advanced multi-step quality evaluation to ensure accuracy and length requirements, improves responses that don't meet standards, then formats everything into a complete Google Doc.

Quality Control Process: Every application goes through multiple AI review stages - parsing questions, writing responses, evaluating quality, and improving weak sections - ensuring you get the strongest possible application.

What It Does

• Writes complete applications - Letters of Intent, full proposals, corporate foundation apps, federal grants

• Handles almost all file formats - PDFs, Google Docs, screenshots, copy/paste text, DOCX files, Excel spreadsheets

• Automatic word count adherence - Hits limits within 10-15% tolerance

• Creates Google Docs - Sends back shareable, editable documents

• Integrates web research - Researches foundation priorities and current data

• Produces revisions - Can edit and improve existing applications

• Works with uploaded context - References your organizational memory automatically

What It Doesn't Do

• Can't submit to portals - You still need to copy/paste and submit applications yourself

• Doesn't know local details - Community-specific information you haven't uploaded

• Can't replace final review - Always need human eyes before submitting

• Struggles with brand new programs - Needs reference material for best results

• Can't handle complex partnerships - Unless you provide specific partnership details

Best Practices

Upload context first - Results are 10x better when Harper knows your organization (past grants, annual reports, program descriptions)

Be specific in requests:

• Foundation name and focus area

• Tone preferences ("professional but warm")

• Key points to emphasize ("trauma-informed approach")

• Word limits and requirements

Quality control checklist:

• Fact-check organizational data

• Review tone and voice match

• Add local details Harper wouldn't know

• Team review before submission
