Because grounded beats generic when funding is on the line. AI Bunny writes from general training data and forgets you between sessions. CharityIQ draws on your Charity Commission profile, past applications and the funder’s criteria, cites every claim, matches funders, and handles compliance and impact — so it earns its keep across every bid, not just the first.
Yes — Charity Excellence’s AI Bunny is free with registration, alongside 40+ free policy templates. CharityIQ’s Grant Finder is also free forever; its grounded AI drafting, compliance and impact tools are paid (from £49/month).
AI Bunny generates from general training data (like ChatGPT) and can invent figures. CharityIQ’s grounded AI uses your own verified data and the funder’s published criteria, and cites every claim — so the output is checkable, auditable and safe to send.
Yes. Every draft is grounded in your real Charity Commission profile, past applications and local statistics, and cites each figure — so there are no invented numbers and nothing to embarrass you in front of a funder.
No — it covers the three jobs that win and keep funding: grant writing, Charity Commission compliance (annual return and SORP 2026) and impact measurement, in one place, instead of stitching together a free bid writer, a spreadsheet and a reminder you forgot to set.
Yes — UK funders, UK regulators, UK pricing and SORP 2026 are built in. It is made by founder Ivan Siyanko, who runs a UK charity, rather than a global tool you have to bend to fit.
Yes. Every output is logged with its sources and waits for human sign-off, so trustees, funders and the Charity Commission can see exactly how each answer was reached.
