FAQ

Questions & Answers

ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool that requires extensive prompting to get good results. Beacon is purpose-built for grant writing. It understands RFP structures, knows what funders look for, and uses YOUR organization's data to write in YOUR voice. Plus, our built-in fact-checking flags unverified claims before export—something ChatGPT can't do.

Upload your past proposals, annual reports, impact data, and organizational documents. Our AI creates embeddings of your content and retrieves the most relevant information when generating each section. Every statistic is traced back to your source documents, so you can verify exactly where each claim comes from.

Beacon works with federal grants (via Grants.gov integration), foundation grants, corporate giving, and state/local government funding. The RFP parser handles various formats including NOFOs, LOIs, and full applications. If it has sections to write, Beacon can help.

Absolutely. Our inline editor lets you refine every section with AI assistance. Select any text and use the copilot to expand, condense, strengthen, or adjust tone. You maintain full control—the AI is your writing partner, not a replacement.

Yes. Your documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. We never train our models on your data. Your knowledge base is completely private to your organization. We're built for nonprofits who handle sensitive beneficiary information—security is foundational.
