Cited grant drafts for nonprofits

Grant answers a funder can trust, because every claim comes from your own documents.

TSD Grant Writer drafts your application straight from your nonprofit’s files, cites every factual claim to a source, and leaves a blank where the answer isn’t there. It will not invent a number to fill the gap.

Free for nonprofits. No card. Watch it cite and refuse on a sample grant before you sign up.

Built for the 2025 NIH and NSF rules on fabricated citations and AI disclosure.Effective 2025 · ref. NOT-OD-25-132

Every claim cited

Each factual sentence links to the exact document and passage behind it.

Never invents figures

Missing facts come back as labeled blanks. Off-source numbers get flagged to verify.

Built for the 2025 rules

NIH and NSF now penalize fabricated citations and undisclosed AI. Every export includes an honest disclosure.

The problem

Most AI grant tools will make something up rather than leave a blank.

Ask a general chatbot to draft a grant answer and it will happily produce a confident paragraph with invented statistics and citations to sources that do not exist. That used to be embarrassing. As of 2025 it can get your application flagged as non-compliant and, for fabricated citations, referred for research-integrity review. Time-poor staff can’t fact-check every line a model writes. The risk lands on you and your organization, not the tool.

A generic chatbot writes
“Last year we served 8,400 families across the region.” No source. The number was invented.
TSD Grant Writer writes
“Last year we served [missing: 2024 families served] across the region.” Then flags it for you to verify.
The citation system, up close

See the source behind every sentence.

This is the difference, shown rather than asserted. Each grounded sentence ends in a numbered marker. Open the evidence to read the passage in full, and the numbered Sources list names each file so a reviewer can see the answer rests on real organizational records.

One sentence, one open source.

Each marker ties to the open evidence and the named source files below.

The refusal guard

When a fact isn't in your files, you get a blank, not a guess.

You asked for last year’s adoption count and it wasn’t in the uploaded files, so the draft returns [missing: last year’s adoption count] instead of a confident number. That blank is the tool working as promised. A competitor would invent the figure.

Built for the rule

The 2025 NIH and NSF AI-use rules, handled.

Funders now penalize applications with fabricated citations and undisclosed AI. Every Word export ships with an honest, submittable AI-use disclosure, and the whole tool is designed so there is nothing to hide.

How it works

From a blank RFP to a cited first draft.

1Step one

Paste the funder's questions.

Drop in the RFP or the application questions. The tool reads it and pulls out each answerable question, the word limits, the deadline, and the required sections.

2Step two

Draft each answer from your documents.

Upload your 990, past grants, board minutes, and program data once. Each answer is written only from those files. Anything not in your documents comes back as a blank for you to fill.

3Step three

Verify, edit, export.

Work the submission checklist, confirm any flagged figures, edit freely in your own voice, then export to Word with the AI-use disclosure already attached.

Honest by design

We hold ourselves to the rule we sell.

Every Word export ends with a clear, submittable statement of how AI was used, written to satisfy funders who now ask. The tool will tell you what it could not find rather than paper over it. Drafts are grounded only in your documents, never in the open internet and never in another organization’s data. The honest version is the whole product.

Figures not found in those documents were left blank and verified by staff before submission. No content was drawn from outside sources.”
