1) Overview

1.1 Product One-liner

GrantWare AI is an AI-assisted workspace for K–12 district grants teams to discover high-fit opportunities, decide go/no-go fast, draft stronger proposals, and manage end-to-end application and reporting—in one place.

1.2 Problem

District teams waste weeks on fragmented search and ambiguous eligibility, then struggle with manual drafting, approvals, and reporting across spreadsheets and shared drives—leading to missed deadlines, low win-rates, and burnout.

1.3 Vision

Replace chaos with a trusted, explainable, K-12-specific system that increases qualified pipeline, speeds decisions and drafting, and improves on-time submissions and compliance.
