Our AI-powered grant discovery and application platform is designed to make government funding opportunities more accessible while adhering to ethical principles that protect and respect our users and society at large.

Our Approach to Responsible AI

Transparency

• We clearly communicate to our users that our platform utilizes AI technologies including Azure OpenAI models and Claude Sonnet via AWS Bedrock
• We provide explanations for grant recommendations, helping users understand why specific opportunities were suggested for their organization

Fairness and Non-Discrimination

• We strive to ensure our grant recommendations are based on relevant criteria such as eligibility, organizational capabilities, and funding needs
• We recognize that our systems may inherit biases from base models and underlying data, and we continuously work to identify and address potential sources of unfair bias
• We are committed to providing equal service quality across different user groups and organization types

Human Oversight

• Our AI systems are designed to assist humans, not replace human judgment
• All recommendations and generated content can be reviewed, edited, and approved by users before submission
• Critical decisions in the grant application process remain under human control

Privacy and Data Security

• We do not use any user data to train AI models

Reliability and Safety

Continuous Improvement
