🧪 Try our free grant-writing GPT

(Built by a fundraiser, not a tech bro!)

Early on in Raiser’s development, I had a theory.

Could AI actually help time-poor charity leaders write better funding bids, without losing their own voice or drowning in buzzwords?

So I ran a quick experiment. I built a custom GPT tool trained on real-life funder language and grant-writing best practice. Then I let it loose in the wild.

And then… I forgot about it.

For months.

I didn’t promote it, didn’t update it, didn’t even check in.

But while I was busy building the full Raiser platform, something quietly happened.

💥 People started using it.

🎉 And telling us they’d won grants (nearly £300,000 of them) with its help.

From £2k–£5k community pots to a whopper £240k 2-year core grant, it’s been doing the rounds behind the scenes. So I figured it’s time to share it properly.

This tool isn’t a replacement for what Raiser is becoming. And it’s not a magic wand.

But it is:

  • Fast
  • Free
  • Bespoke for small charities
  • Surprisingly effective

And unlike most AI bid writers out there, this one wasn’t built by people who’ve never filled out a grant form in their life.

It’s yours to try.
