Grant Assistance
for Social Organisations

Navigating the grant landscape is time-consuming. CII's AI assistant helps you identify opportunities, prepare applications, and submit with confidence — so you can focus on your mission.

How the Grant Assistant Works

CII's AI grant assistant is trained on the UK grant funding landscape — from the National Lottery Community Fund and local authority grants to trust funds and corporate foundations. It helps you at every stage of the grant journey.

1
Profile Your Organisation

Tell the AI about your organisation's mission, activities, location, beneficiaries, and funding needs. The more detail you provide, the better the matches.

2
AI Scans the Landscape

The assistant searches live grant databases and matches your profile against open funding rounds, deadlines, and eligibility criteria — surfacing the most relevant opportunities.

3
Draft Your Application

AI generates a first-draft application tailored to each funder's criteria, language, and priorities. It draws on your organisation profile and past successful applications to maximise relevance.

4
Human Review & Submit

AI drafts — you decide. Your team reviews, edits, and approves every application before submission. No silent automated decisions. You stay in control.

5
Track & Manage

The portal tracks all your applications, deadlines, and outcomes. Reporting, reminders, and compliance logging built in.
