Question 1

What is MissionGrants?

Accepted Answer

MissionGrants is a grant writing platform built for nonprofits, researchers, and professional grant writers. It includes project management from draft to award, organizational memory that personalizes every document, grant-specific templates, a built-in budget calculator, export to Word/PDF/Excel, team collaboration, and AI content generation powered by your mission.

Question 2

How is Mission different from using other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

General-purpose AI tools start from scratch every time. Mission is a complete grant writing workflow with features AI chatbots can't replicate: organizational memory that carries your mission statement and tax status across every project, domain-specific templates (LOI, executive summary, needs statement, project description, budget narrative, evaluation plan, sustainability plan), a budget calculator with line-item export, document export to Word/PDF/Excel, project lifecycle tracking from draft to award, file uploads for reference documents, team collaboration with unified billing, funder-specific tools for foundations, inline refinement to iterate on generated content, and your choice of 3 AI quality levels (Express, Standard, Deep).

Question 3

Is this just an AI wrapper?

Accepted Answer

No. AI content generation is one feature within a larger platform. Mission includes project management, a budget calculator, document export, organizational memory, team collaboration, and funder tools — none of which exist in general-purpose AI. The AI in Mission is also fine-tuned for grant writing with domain-specific prompt templates, not generic text generation.

Question 4

Can I try MissionGrants before subscribing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every plan starts with a free seven-day trial. You get full access to all features on your selected plan during the trial.

Question 5

How does the grant writing workflow work?

Accepted Answer

First, you set up your organization with your mission statement, tax status, and key details — Mission remembers these across all projects. Then you create a grant project, set the funder and target amount, and upload any reference documents. Choose a template, pick your AI quality level, and generate content. Refine it with follow-up prompts or your own edits until it's right. Finally, export as Word, PDF, or Excel and submit to your funder.

Question 6

What file formats can I upload?

Accepted Answer

You can upload PDFs, Word documents (.doc, .docx), Excel files, plain text files, and images (JPEG, PNG). Maximum file size is 10MB per file.

Question 7

What are credits and how many do I get?

Accepted Answer

A credit is used each time you ask Mission to generate content. Different AI quality levels cost different amounts — Express uses 1 credit, Standard uses 2, and Deep uses 3. Plans range from 20 credits/month (Community) to 250 credits/month (Philanthropic+).

Question 8

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can change your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll be charged the prorated difference. When downgrading, your new plan will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Question 9

What if I don't use all my credits?

Accepted Answer

Unused credits do not roll over to the next month. Each billing cycle, your credit count resets to your plan limit.

Question 10

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel at any time from your billing settings. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period. We don't offer refunds for partial months.

Question 11

Do you offer discounts for small nonprofits?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our Community plan at $29/month is designed to be affordable for small organizations. We also offer annual billing with 2 months free, and our Philanthropic plan helps subsidize access for community organizations.

Question 12

How do higher-tier plans support community organizations?

Accepted Answer

Philanthropic subscriptions directly subsidize access for Community-tier organizations, making grant writing tools affordable for small nonprofits.

Question 13

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your information with third parties, and you can delete your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

Question 14

Is my data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your organization's data and generated content are never used to train any AI model. Your mission, your documents, and your projects stay yours.
