Whetstone

Do the work only a capital campaign writer can do. Hand off the rest.

Let AI handle the busywork. Only do the work that matters.

Too much of your campaign is consumed by work that doesn't need your judgment.

Naming opportunity descriptions, donor recognition language, program summaries for collateral, campaign FAQ documents — real work, just not your work.

But you don't have to do it alone.

You craft the case.
AI drafts the hundred versions of everything else.

Tireless at adapting your case statement for every audience, every gift level, every piece of collateral — but it can't write the core narrative that moves a major donor.

Direct it. Review it. Sign off.

  • Assign the first pass. Background sections, needs statements, literature summaries, program timelines — the work that needs elbow grease, not expertise.
  • Keep the relationship work. Funder cultivation, stakeholder interviews, case-for-support strategy — the work that builds trust and wins grants.
  • Automate the compliance grind. Budget justifications, logic models, evaluation frameworks — the templates that eat hours but follow predictable patterns.

For capital campaign writers who need to be in the room, not at the keyboard.

Foundation proposals

You know which program officers want data-heavy narratives and which want compelling stories.

Research grants

You can translate PI ambitions into fundable aims, but the literature review is killing your timeline.

Capital campaigns

You write case statements that move major donors, but formatting the collateral is eating your prep time.

Corporate grants

You know how to position alignment with CSR priorities, but each RFP wants the same info in a different format.

Your time is the constraint. Your judgment is the value.
