Meet the Creator
Hi, I’m Matt - an artistic director and fundraiser who’s spent years on both sides of grant applications. I’ve seen how much energy artists and organisations pour into forms, and how heavy the process can feel.
That’s why I built ArtsFunded: to take the stress out of grant writing and give people their time back. A custom‑made system designed from the ground up, the platform is completely automated, using patterns from successful, consent‑shared applications to shape your notes into a clear first draft in minutes. It even helps pull in light research so the evidence and stats are ready when you need them.
Frequently Asked Questions
ArtsFunded is 100 % custom‑built, proprietary AI trained only on consensually supplied winning answers, guidance and reviewer notes. Nothing you write is used to train public models - ever.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. Every questionnaire, draft and upload is encrypted at rest and in transit over HTTPS, so it stays unreadable end-to-end.
- Streams are processed in-memory and wiped once the output is saved.
- Nothing you write is reused to train public models or shared with third parties.
Need more detail? See the full privacy policy or email matt@artsfunded.com.
How do credits work?
Each action shows its price up front. Credits are only deducted after the output is safely saved.
- 1 credit covers Generate ≤ £30k, Review, Research or Condense.
- 2 credits power ACE £30-100k projects.
Do credits expire?
No expiry dates - buy now and use whenever suits your project timeline.
Why should I buy a pack?
Packs bundle credits together 30-40% cheaper than single top-ups and mix the tools you’ll actually need.
Do you have an ACE budget template?
Download the ACE budget spreadsheet, make a copy, add your figures, then export to .xlsx and upload it in the questionnaire’s Budget block.
Does ArtsFunded work for ACE, DYCP and Awards for All?
Yes. Each questionnaire maps 1-to-1 with ACE Project Grants (both under £30k and £30k-£100k), Developing Your Creative Practice rounds, National Lottery Awards for All and the Postcode Lottery Community Fund.
Drafts use grant-specific language, evidence prompts and word counts so you can copy straight into the portal.
Are the models identical for every funder?
No. Each funder runs through its own prompt stack, tuned on guidance, award-winning answers and reviewer notes, so tone and length match the target portal.
What does “Review my project info” do?
Your questionnaire is compared with real winning answers and a 15-point checklist highlights gaps to fix before you generate the draft.
Where do Evidence Builder stats come from?
The agent pulls from reputable sources only (.gov.uk, ONS, peer-reviewed journals, major NGOs) and cites them inline for easy fact-checking.
You also get a plain-English evidence report to download or attach to your draft.
What happens if my research paste is huge?
Anything over ~10 000 characters is automatically condensed (free) before it hits the model, which keeps your token usage low without losing detail.
Does Funder Finder cost credits?
No - it’s free. It simply recommends the three best matches and explains why they fit.
Can I rename / delete / download drafts?
Yes. Use ✏︎ to rename, 🗑 to delete and ↓ to download as .txt or .docx.
Storage limits?
Unlimited during beta. We’ll warn you well in advance if that changes.
open for ace, dycp, awards for all details Grant writing support for Arts Council England
