What each one does

Grant Proposal Writer

  • Creates complete grant proposals with all standard sections funders expect
  • Tailors your project description to match the funder's stated priorities
  • Builds detailed budget narratives with justification for every line item
  • Develops measurable objectives and evaluation plans that prove impact
  • Includes sustainability sections showing how work continues after funding ends

Job Description Writer

  • Structures a complete job posting with role overview, responsibilities, requirements, and benefits
  • Reviews language for bias and suggests inclusive alternatives to terms like 'rockstar' or 'ninja'
  • Flags requirements that may screen out underrepresented groups (like years-of-experience rules)
  • Separates must-haves from nice-to-haves so you don't over-filter candidates
  • Reminds you to include salary range (which increases applicants by 30%)
