What the course covers

  • Three modules create a funder-research prompt, configure a Custom GPT with system instructions and proposal knowledge files, then evaluate its drafts against citation, confidentiality and funder-scoring checks.
  • The example is scoped to a fictitious Hartwell Community Foundation voice and process; no claim that it matches every nonprofit's requirements.

Practice & assessment

The syllabus lists a reusable funder-research prompt, a configured/tested grant-writing GPT, and an auditable guardrail checklist as outputs. Assignments cover public-source eligibility/priority research, organizational tone/structure, and review before submission; the page does not show instructor grading criteria beyond the named checklist dimensions.
