Writing effective proposals requires excellent editing skills. Editing can improve clarity and persuasiveness and help eliminate errors, which means grant reviewers will focus on the most important part of your proposal: the impact of your programs.
Editing, however, can be a challenging part of the grantseeking process, especially for small organizations that don’t have multiple individuals available to review a proposal prior to submission.
Fortunately, AI tools can help provide an additional “set of eyes,” ensuring you’re submitting the best proposal possible. During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke and David Gates will show you how AI can help you effectively edit your proposals.
You’ll learn:
- prompts you can use in ChatGPT throughout the editing process;
- how AI can be used to adjust your writing style and voice;
- how to use AI to check for consistency and grammar;
- how AI can be used to adhere to character counts; and,
- how to use AI to ensure compliance with funder instructions.
You’ll leave ready to employ a variety of new tactics to improve your editing process.
TargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session is perfect for anyone involved in the grantwriting process who wants to streamline their editing. It can be particularly useful for those in small organizations with limited capacity.
