AI for nonprofitsHow can a small nonprofit write grants from past applications?
Start from what you've already written. Put past applications, funder reports and budgets in Constella, then ask for the program description or outcomes you need, and get the answer with the document it came from.
Example
How did we describe the youth program in last year's application?
“After-school mentoring for 120 students a year, ages 12 to 17, at three community centers.”
2025 Lakeview Foundation application.pdf

“What did we report last year?”
Somewhere in a PDF, in someone's drive.
A new staff member or volunteer.
Who needs the history before they can help.
What changes
