Questions & Answers

ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool that requires extensive prompting to get good results. Brightway Grants 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. No prompt engineering required—just upload and generate.

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. This means your proposals include real statistics, actual program descriptions, and authentic organizational voice—not generic filler.

Brightway 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, Brightway 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.
