What Grantsville is
Grantsville is a web service that drafts grant applications for US nonprofits under $500K when the director writes the grants. It reads an organization’s documents, beginning with its public Form 990, and links draft facts to source documents for review. It can prepare letters of inquiry, full proposals, and answers for funder portals, shaping portal responses to field limits. Users can choose writing samples to guide the draft’s voice, and the tool flags numbers and claims for review before submission. Grantsville cautions that generated text may be wrong or sound off. First-time grant writers can use it; a prior award is not required. The service is self-serve, though it says a consultant may be a better fit for complex strategy or funder relationships. Grantsville says it searches only the organization’s own documents when drafting and does not use them to write for another organization. Optional product analytics exclude identifying details, document content, free text, URLs, and raw errors. The site says its privacy policy names AI providers and explains data export and deletion. One application is free with no credit card required; a letter of inquiry costs $99 per application, and a full application costs $299 per application.
