Write your grant report with a source behind every number
Every number in the draft is tagged with the file and line it came from, so you can check it in seconds.

How do I write a grant report funders will trust?
Give an AI chat your grant goals, your real numbers and a few stories, and ask it to tag every figure with its source and list any claim without one. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all do this with the prompt. Nonprofits on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan also get a built-in reporting skill (as of October 2026). Whichever you use, check the unsourced list before you send anything.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Help me write a report for [FUNDER NAME, e.g. a community foundation] covering [REPORTING PERIOD, e.g. January to June]. Here's what we promised: [GRANT GOALS, e.g. 200 families served, 3 workshops]. Here are our numbers: [YOUR NUMBERS, e.g. attendance sheet, sign-up totals]. Here are a few short stories: [YOUR STORIES]. Write a warm, plain-language report with these sections: summary, goals versus results, what we learned, one story, and next steps. Rules: 1. After every number, add its source in parentheses, like (attendance sheet, row 12). 2. Use only the numbers I gave you. Never round up or estimate. 3. Where we fell short, say so honestly and explain why in one or two sentences. 4. At the end, list any claim in the report that doesn't have a source yet, so I can fill the gap before sending.
Paste your grant goals, your numbers and a few stories, and get a draft funder report where every figure points back to where it came from, plus a list of claims you still need to back up.
Step by step
- Gather the grant's original goals, your numbers and two or three short stories
- Open Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and attach or paste them
- Paste the prompt and fill in the funder and the reporting period
- Check the list of unsupported claims before you send the report
What you'll get
A funder-ready report draft with a source tag on every number, an honest goals versus results section and a list of gaps to fix first.
Claude for Nonprofits adds this as a skill on Team and Enterprise plans. The prompt works on any plan.
