GrantHawk Complete Feature Guide

GrantHawk Complete Feature Guide

GrantHawk helps you write winning grant proposals faster. Here's everything our platform can do.

RFP Analyzer

Upload your funding announcement. Our AI reads it in 45 seconds and extracts what matters.

What you get:

• Eligibility summary with pass/warning/fail for each criterion
• Requirements checklist with every document and deadline
• Missing information flags so you know what to fill in
• Optional deeper analysis: grant research, compliance rules, readiness assessment

Why it matters: A typical federal RFP takes 2-3 hours to read thoroughly. We do it in 45 seconds. You catch requirements you'd miss and know your eligibility before you start writing.

Budget Reviewer

Check your budget against grant compliance rules before you submit.

What it catches:

• Unallowable costs that violate program rules
• Match calculation errors
• Indirect cost violations
• Line item issues and format problems

What you get:

• Overall score out of 10
• Financial summary with totals and match percentage
• Critical issues, warnings, and recommendations
• Specific fixes for each problem

Real example: A nonprofit in Oregon caught a $12,000 consultant miscategorized under "Personnel" and a match calculation that was 8% short. They fixed both issues and won the $350,000 grant.

AI Section Drafter

Generate first drafts of narrative sections based on your RFP and organization profile.

How it works:

1. The AI identifies all required sections from your RFP
2. For each section, click "Generate AI Draft"
3. Get a first draft based on your org profile, RFP requirements, and funder priorities
4. Edit, regenerate, or accept and move on

What you see for each draft:

• Quality score out of 10
• Alignment score showing how well it addresses funder priorities
• Strengths and suggested improvements
• Funder priorities matched and missing

Time saved: Most users cut drafting time by 50-70%.

Pre-Submission Check

Score your application against the rubric before you submit.

What it does:

• Comprehensive checklist of all eligibility criteria and requirements
• Application strength score with dimension-by-dimension breakdown
• Critical gaps that could cause rejection
• Export to Excel for team review

The benefit: Catch weaknesses on your terms, not the reviewer's.
