Recording: Drafter drop in session

In this practical session, held on Wednesday 30 September 2026, Funding Centre team member Grace Dennis walked through the basics of Drafter, the AI grant writing tool built into the Funding Centre, showed how it works in practice, and then answered questions from attendees.

What is Drafter?

Drafter helps community groups, councils, businesses and grant consultants put together stronger applications, faster. You enter your organisation and project details once, then reuse and adapt them across multiple applications. Everything is processed on Australian servers, and your content is never used to train AI systems.

What the session covers

• Setting up your organisation and project information
• Generating your first draft response
• Editing and refining what Drafter produces
• Using Drafter's prompts to identify gaps and strengthen your answers
• Moving between grant search and drafting in the one platform

The session also includes a Q&A segment, with questions from members who were yet to try Drafter and from existing users looking to get more out of it.
