AI grant writing for UK charities that cites every source

CharityIQ's AI grant writer drafts a fundable UK grant application in about 12 minutes — work that takes 22+ hours by hand. Every draft is grounded in your charity's verified data and the funder's published criteria, every figure links back to its source, and a trustee signs off before anything is submitted. Plain English, built for UK funders.

Frequently asked questions

AI grant writing uses artificial intelligence to draft grant applications. What matters is how it works: CharityIQ uses grounded AI, drafting only from your charity's verified data and the funder's published criteria, and citing the source of every claim — so a person can check and approve the draft before you submit.

AI writes the draft; people win the grant. CharityIQ gets you from a blank page to a strong, funder-specific first draft in minutes, matched to what the funder wants to support. You add the local knowledge and final judgement — a stronger application in a fraction of the time.

A first draft takes about 12 minutes once your charity's details are set up. Because your mission, outcomes and standard answers are stored and reused, every application after the first is faster.

Yes, when the AI is grounded and a human signs off. CharityIQ never invents figures — every fact is drawn from your own data and carries a citation you can verify. Trustee sign-off is built into the workflow.

CharityIQ makes a small team as productive as a much larger one, but it doesn't replace your judgement. It handles the blank page and the repetitive answers, freeing your people for strategy, relationships and the parts of a bid that need a human.

ChatGPT is a general model with no knowledge of your charity or the funder, and it can state false facts. CharityIQ drafts only from your verified data and the funder's published priorities, cites every fact, writes in UK English, and keeps a human in control of sign-off.

CharityIQ works with UK trusts, foundations, National Lottery funding and local grant-makers. Pair it with the free Grant Finder to match your charity to live UK grants by fit, then draft the applications you shortlist.

Plans start at £49/month, and the Grant Finder is free with no card required. See pricing for current plans.
