Using AI for Grant Writing

Use AI to save time, and also as a support and access tool, to help you write and get work done.

Do you find it difficult to get started, to get your ideas out of your head and into words? Or have you written so many applications for funding recently, on your own, or on unpaid time, and want to make it easier? This is where AI can help.

Led by experienced arts trainer and consultant, Christina Poulton, the workshop focuses on using AI to help write grant applications including examples for trusts, National Lottery and Arts Council England. They’ll share a series of AI techniques and prompt templates so you can:

• Get it to write in the style you want
• Write answers to common funding application questions
• Use Chat GPT, Bing or Bard as a bid research and planning tool
• Turn speech into a written answer
• Refine the results you get from an AI Chatbot

About the training
Delivered through a mix of presentation and exercises to put learning into practice, we will consider different approaches to using AI so you leave with a toolkit of ideas. There will also be an opportunity to share tips and ask questions.
