Rapid Reuse Library for Modular Grant Answers
Stop rewriting the same paragraphs from scratch. A modular grant answer library lets you reuse the best copy, update it quickly, and power Crafty with sections that meet funder tone, evidence, and compliance needs.
TL;DR
- Audit high-performing responses and break them into reusable modules.
- Tag modules with taxonomy covering funder type, length, tone, and evidence references.
- Upload the library into Crafty so AI blends approved blocks with fresh context.
Why build a modular answer library now?
With funders tightening timelines, reuse is the only way to scale without quality dips. Knowledge Management for Development’s 2024 review found organisations with modular content reduced drafting time by 40%. Combine that with Crafty, and you’ll produce first drafts in minutes.
How do you design the taxonomy and governance?
Tag modules by funder type (lottery, government, corporate), question theme (need, approach, impact, governance), tone (formal, community voice), and evidence sources. Assign owners and review cycles.
| Field | Description | Example value | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Module name | Short descriptor | “Youth employability proof of impact” | Impact lead |
| Funder type | Primary audience | Lottery | Bid writer |
| Length | Word count / character limit | 250 words | Editor |
| Evidence references | Links to evidence bank | Evidence: Impact/2024-progression-report.pdf | Impact lead |
| Status | Draft, Approved, Review due | Approved (review Q2 2025) | Governance officer |
What does a reusable module look like?
Each module should contain: summary paragraph, bullet points for tailoring, evidence references, tone guidance, and call-outs for what not to claim. Include prompts for the AI prompt playbook so Crafty knows how to deploy it.
How do you keep the library fresh and compliant?
Schedule quarterly reviews. Link modules to automated evidence updates and your responsible AI checklist. When a funder gives feedback, log it and update the relevant module immediately.
