Good Grants, a global leader in grant management software, has announced the launch of a new suite of secure, privacy-first AI tools specifically designed for grantmaking organizations. The tools aim to help grantmakers work more efficiently, fairly and at scale without compromising data protection or confidentiality. According to Managing Director Richard de Nys, the approach focuses on meaningful AI integration that prioritizes responsible implementation over rapid deployment.
The company's AI tools operate entirely within Good Grants' own secure virtual private cloud, ensuring all grantmaking data remains private, compliant and never leaves the company's environment. This architecture addresses growing concerns about data privacy in AI applications, particularly for organizations handling sensitive grant applications and recipient information. The system's design gives grantmakers confidence that they can use AI responsibly while maintaining data protection at all times.
Organizations using the platform maintain complete control over AI implementation through optional, opt-in capabilities. Users can determine what data is accessible to AI systems, who can configure its use and who can view its outputs. The platform also allows organizations to choose from various LLM models they trust, including Claude Sonnet, GPT OSS, Qwen3 and others, with availability depending on geographic location.
The first feature in the new suite, AI fields, enables grant managers and program administrators to ask natural-language questions and generate insights directly within the Good Grants platform. This functionality allows for summarizing applications, generating feedback for grantees, performing complex queries such as calculating allocations, or identifying outstanding reports. The tool integrates these capabilities into existing workflows, allowing analysis, summarization and insight extraction from application data in seconds.
Good Grants emphasizes that its AI development focuses on sustainable, responsible innovation rather than chasing technological trends. The company states that every future feature will be developed with the same focus on fairness, safety and real-world usefulness. The introduction of AI fields represents the beginning of an expanding family of intelligent, compliant tools designed to enhance decision-making, streamline operations and promote equitable grantmaking practices.
The platform serves small to medium-sized grantmakers worldwide, helping them affordably accept, manage and fund grant applications according to their specific needs and processes. More information about the company and its services is available at https://www.goodgrants.com.
