How GrantSnap drafts answers from your profile

2026-09-13 · Guide

GrantSnap does not invent a new company for each form. It reuses the profile you already gave us. That is the feature. It is also the failure mode: if the profile is empty, the draft is a guess.

What belongs in the profile

Legal name and any trading name. What you do, in the language you would put on a funder form — not a slogan. Location and registration. Stage. Team bios. The documents you already send: pitch deck, budget, work plan, letters. Special categories only if they are true (women-led, student, nonprofit status).

Onboarding is built around those fields because funders already ask for them. Skipping a field to “finish later” means the next form will skip it too.

What the model is allowed to see

The questions from the page or from a deep scan of that opportunity, plus your stored profile and uploads. It does not browse the open web for a better version of you. It does not pull a secret score from the funder. If two questions are similar, you should still read both drafts. Models repeat themselves.

What you should never trust unaudited

Budgets, headcount, incorporation dates, tax IDs, and “we have served X beneficiaries.” Those are the fields that get applications rejected or, worse, create a record you did not mean to sign. Open the source document and type over the draft if the number is wrong.

Narrative questions are safer to accept as a starting paragraph, then cut. A 400-word box filled with 400 words of filler is obvious to a reviewer.

Where the data lives

Account identity, profile, documents, and saved applications are stored on GrantSnap servers (Supabase) so the dashboard and the extension stay in sync. Dodo Payments handles billing. Google Gemini is used to generate drafts. We do not sell your personal information. We do not claim local-only processing. Children under 18 are not the audience. Details are in the privacy policy, last updated 10 September 2026.
