Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits - Tulsa, Legacy Plaza
5330 East 31st Street Suite 200 Tulsa, OK 74135 United States
Grant writing is time-intensive, detail-oriented work that demands precision and creativity. What if AI could help you draft stronger narratives, organize complex information, and polish your proposals, without sacrificing your authentic voice or mission alignment? This course explores how artificial intelligence can enhance your grant writing process while maintaining the quality and integrity funders expect. You'll learn practical techniques for using AI tools to research funders, develop compelling program descriptions, and refine your writing, all while understanding the ethical boundaries and limitations. The goal isn't to write grants faster; it's to write better grants with AI as your strategic partner.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI throughout the grant writing process
- Use AI tools to research grant opportunities, analyze funder priorities, and assess organizational fit
- Leverage AI to draft, organize, and refine proposal sections while maintaining authentic organizational voice
- Apply prompting techniques that generate useful, mission-aligned content for grant narratives
- Evaluate AI-generated content critically for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with funder expectations
- Navigate ethical considerations including transparency, authenticity, and intellectual property in AI-assisted grant writing
