"Can we use AI for our funding applications?" 🤔

We are seeing an increase in AI-generated applications, and in many cases, this isn't giving charities the best chance of success.

We understand that AI tools can help charities save time on writing applications and we support charities using these technologies.

Here are some tips when sending us your applications:

❌ Don't rely on AI to fully respond to questions: We want to hear your unique voice and the strengths of your charity

❌Protect your data and be careful when adding confidential or sensitive information into free AI open source software.

✅Do use it to support you in writing a first draft

✅Supporting you to format and spell check your application
