Myth: “It’s AI Written – So What?”
When it comes to grant applications, some people may raise an eyebrow at the thought of a bid being written by AI. The assumption is often that if AI is involved, the work might lack the depth or human touch needed to win over funders. But here’s the question we want to pose: Does it really matter if it’s AI written?
At Fundin.ai, we believe the answer is simple: No, it doesn’t matter—because what truly matters is the quality, the accuracy, and the ability to express your charity’s unique mission. And that’s exactly what our AI bid writing assistant does, empowering charities that might otherwise struggle to access funding.
Levelling the Playing Field: Why AI Matters for Charities
Did you know that 85% of funding goes to just 4% of charities? This inequality is driven, in part, by the fact that larger organisations can afford to spend significant sums on professional bid writers or agencies, while smaller charities are left competing with limited resources. With £900 million spent on grant applications annually, much of the funding is flowing to those who can pay for expert support.
But what about the grassroots organisations that are doing crucial work, often with tight budgets? They deserve the same opportunities, and that’s where our AI comes in. Fundin.ai provides a cost-effective solution that gives smaller charities the chance to compete—without the need for a £500+ day rate for a freelancer or agency.
The Facts: All Content is Real, None is Made Up
One of the myths about AI is that it might generate content that’s inaccurate or made up. At Fundin.ai, we guarantee that everything we produce comes from a curated library of verified information. Our AI doesn’t guess or fabricate anything—it draws on solid, research-backed data to create accurate, reliable content for your bids.
So, whether it’s AI-written or not, the content in your grant application will be grounded in facts—helping you make a convincing case for funding.
Matching Your Tone of Voice
Another key concern is whether AI can replicate the personal touch of a charity’s voice. Can a machine really reflect the passion behind a cause or the values of an organisation?
Absolutely. At Fundin.ai, we make sure our AI mirrors your tone of voice, ensuring your bid reflects the unique character of your charity. Whether your communication style is warm and conversational or more formal and professional, we tailor our content to match the way you communicate with funders.
Cost-Effective and Time-Saving
Smaller charities often face a tough choice: spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds on professional bid writers, or spend hours crafting the application themselves—time they may not have.
Take the example of one of our users, a single parent of four who runs a youth charity in London. Her charity recently helped 30 young people leave gangs and find positive new pathways. But with a full-time job and four children to care for, she simply doesn’t have the time to write grant applications. And with limited funding, she can’t afford to hire a bid writer either. For her, using Fundin.ai is a lifeline, allowing her to compete for funding without sacrificing time or resources.
Breaking Down Barriers
Consider another example: a charity leader for whom English is a second language. Their organisation is making a huge impact in their local community, but they struggle to express their ideas clearly in English. With Fundin.ai, they’re able to communicate their vision confidently, ensuring that language barriers don’t hold them back from accessing funding.
These examples are exactly why we built Fundin.ai—to ensure that every charity has access to the tools and resources they need to secure funding, no matter their size or circumstances.
AI Empowers Charities to Win
At the end of the day, does it matter if the bid is AI-written? No. What matters is the quality of the content, the ability to reflect your charity’s mission, and the impact you’re making in your community. Fundin.ai delivers on all these fronts, providing an affordable, effective solution for charities and non-profits to access the same opportunities as larger organisations.
So, whether your bid is written by AI or not isn’t the question—it’s whether your bid is powerful, accurate, and reflective of your organisation’s work. And with Fundin.ai, we ensure it is.
