Grant writing has long been one of the most high-stakes, high-stress responsibilities for local governments. The pressure to secure funding, the mountain of documentation, the hours spent pulling data—it can be overwhelming even for seasoned professionals.
But what if it didn’t have to be?
Introducing Grace, Polco’s AI grant-writing assistant designed to make the grant process faster, easier, and smarter.
Grace combines advanced AI capabilities with your community’s real data to help you write compelling grant applications in a fraction of the time. And now, you can see her in action with our brand-new walkthrough video:
In the video, we walk through a real-world example: applying for funding to support a local police department with rugged laptops and body cameras. From the moment we tell Grace we want to write a grant, she takes the wheel.
She begins by outlining what’s needed—summary, goals, budget, implementation plan, statement of need, and more. Then, using uploaded grant requirements, local data from Polco’s Track dashboards, and our input on outdated equipment and crime challenges, Grace starts drafting.
But this isn’t just text generation.
🔹 She integrates benchmark data to strengthen the application.
🔹 She visualizes trends and gaps with charts and citations.
🔹 She adapts to your narrative and tone.
Once we paste in a description of our community, Grace updates every section to reflect it. The result? A highly tailored, professional grant proposal that feels as if it was written by someone who knows your community inside and out—because in many ways, she does.
Grace goes beyond the application itself. Need support letters, timelines, agenda notes, or a press release announcing your submission? She can generate those too—instantly.
What used to take weeks or months can now be done in minutes to hours. The best part? You stay in control. Grace drafts. You refine. Together, you submit a polished, persuasive, data-backed grant application with confidence.
Grace isn’t just about speed. She’s about equity in opportunity. With staffing shortages, tight deadlines, and rising demands, many communities miss out on funding—not because their needs aren’t valid, but because the process is too hard to manage.
Grace levels the playing field. She turns local data into compelling stories. She streamlines the process. She gives local governments back their most precious resource: time.
If your community is chasing federal, state, or private grants—Grace is the assistant you didn’t know you needed.
