Prompt: draft a case for support

A case for support is the core argument a funder reads before deciding whether to back you. This prompt turns your own facts into a structured 500–700 word draft you then verify, cut and make true. It will not invent statistics — it leaves gaps for you to fill with real, sourced figures.

What to paste in

Give the AI your beneficiaries, the problem, your activities, the outcomes you see, and what the money is for. The more specific you are, the less the AI has to guess — and guessing is exactly what you want to prevent. Copy the prompt below into your AI tool and replace each [PASTE] block.

What to check afterwards

This is the part that matters. Generic AI writes fluent prose and invents plausible numbers with equal confidence. Delete any statistic it added that you did not supply, fill every [NEED: …] tag with a sourced fact, and confirm the money figures match your real budget before this goes near a funder.

Charities in England and Wales must file their annual return within 10 months of their financial year-end (Source: gov.uk, Charity Commission guidance, accessed 9 July 2026; verified 11 Jul 2026) — funders often check your filing history, so keep it current before you apply.

Worked example

The illustrative example above shows the structure with a fictional charity. Notice the [NEED: …] tags where a real figure belongs — that is the AI doing its job, flagging a gap instead of fabricating a number.

CharityIQ runs this grounded in your registration, beneficiaries and past applications, so the draft starts from your verified data rather than a blank page.
