Prompt: draft outcomes and outputs for a grant bid

Funders ask two linked questions: what will you deliver (outputs) and what will change for people (outcomes). This prompt separates the two cleanly, suggests an indicator and evidence source for each outcome, and keeps targets realistic. It will not inflate a number you gave it.

What to paste in

Give the AI your activities, the numbers you know, the change you expect, and any measurement tools you already use. Set your project length so timescales are realistic.

What to check afterwards

Confirm every target is one you can hit and evidence — a funded target you miss becomes a difficult conversation at reporting stage. Keep the honest line about what you cannot prove; funders respect it and it protects you later.

Every outcome you promise in a bid, you have to evidence in your report — CharityIQ’s advice is to under-promise what you can prove rather than over-promise what you cannot.

Worked example

The illustrative example shows countable outputs, measurable outcomes with realistic indicators, and an honest statement of what a 12-month project cannot prove.

CharityIQ can align these outcomes with your theory of change and your monitoring data so bid and report use the same measures.
