If you are using AI to help write your application
We understand that AI tools can help charities save time on writing applications and we support charities using these technologies. However, we want to help charities use this technology as best as possible. We are seeing an increase in AI-generated applications, and in many cases, this is not giving charities the best chance of success. These applications are often generic, do not give a clear voice to the charity and do not highlight the unique strengths of the charity.
Please ensure that you are not relying on AI to fully respond to questions within the application and that you only use it for preparing a first draft, formatting, and spell checking.
We read every single application we receive and do not use AI in any part of our decision making. We want to hear your unique voice, so please use your time to tailor your responses to add context and details specific to your charity and to convey your organisation's story or approach.
