Using ChatGPT to Write Funding Applications (Without Losing Your Voice)

Grant writing doesn’t have to be so overwhelming.

With the right prompts (and a little support), AI tools like ChatGPT can make the process faster, easier, and a lot less stressful — without losing your organisation’s voice.

Join The NGO Coach, Rochelle Stewart-Allen, for this 60-minute online workshop made for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and grant writers who want to work smarter — not harder — when applying for funding.

What you’ll learn:
✅ How ChatGPT works and where it fits in the grant writing process
✅ Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
✅ How to write prompts that get useful, relevant drafts
✅ What not to ask ChatGPT
✅ How to refine and humanise the AI output
✅ Where your voice and values still matter most

You’ll also get:

• A practical prompt-writing framework

• A grant writing checklist

• A bonus video on tailoring your grant to funder priorities

• Access to Rochelle’s evergreen digital toolkit after the workshop
