AI Use and Governance Policy
At Grants Office, our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and trust underpins how we collect, evaluate, and share information with our clients and partners. While we may leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support internal research and summarization workflows, all information shared through our platforms is thoroughly reviewed and verified by experienced grants professionals.
Our primary sources of information include publicly available and authoritative resources, such as federal and state government websites, foundation portals, nonprofit 990 tax filings, and other grant-maker websites. AI technologies may be used to summarize data from these sources, but they do not replace human judgment, expertise, or oversight.
To ensure responsible and ethical use of AI across our services, we follow principles consistent with leading North American organizations in the public and private sectors:
- Transparency – Any use of AI in our products or services is disclosed where applicable.
- Human Oversight – Any internal research and summarization conducted utilizing AI tools is reviewed and verified by our team of grant experts before being incorporated into any materials published or delivered.
- Privacy and Security – AI tools are not used on any client or registrant information and are applied only in secure environments that comply with relevant data privacy standards. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy at: https://www.grantsoffice.com/Privacy-Policy.
- Integrity – We do not use AI to fabricate or infer grant opportunities, eligibility criteria, or any of our available resources. All curated resources are prepared by our team of grant experts using publicly verifiable sources. We do not support or condone the misuse of AI for plagiarism or misrepresentation of work.
Our use of AI is guided by a commitment to support better grant-seeking, not to replace the insight and context only experienced professionals can provide. As such, every funding opportunity or strategic insight you receive from Grants Office remains 100% human-verified and powered.

In short: Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
