Grant Research Analyst
Finds and screens funders against your mission, size, and geography, and hands you a ranked, reasoned prospect list instead of a search you have to run yourself.

A live cohort
With Beckie Irvin
BUILD YOUR AI GRANT TEAM IN 3 WEEKS.
Build Your AI Grant Team is a three-week live cohort for mission-driven leaders. You deploy a Grant Research Analyst, a Grant Writer, and a Grant Manager inside your own organization, running on your real pipeline, not a demo. You leave with working infrastructure, not a folder of prompts you'll never open again.

Proof
THIS COULD BE YOUR GRANT WRITING TEAM.
I'm not going to describe AI employees in the abstract. You'll build your own version of this, on your own grants, with your own hands.

What you leave with
Three working AI employees, deployed on your own grant pipeline.
Each one ships as a complete package you customize rather than build from scratch.
Grant Writer
Turns your program information into first-draft narratives in your organization's voice, structured to each funder's requirements.
Grant Manager
Tracks deadlines, reporting requirements, and renewals across your whole pipeline and flags what needs attention before it's late.
Each one ships with project instructions, a setup guide, a standard operating procedure, escalation rules, and quality standards. By the end of week three, all three run together as a team inside your organization.
How it works
Three live 90-minute sessions, one week apart, at 12pm CT.
You build one employee per session, on your real grants, with me guiding the room.
Before we start
A required pre-work checklist gets your account and workspace set up, so no live time is lost. Plan on about an hour. You bring one thing: a real grant pipeline to build on.
- 01
Session 1 — August 5
Foundations, plus your Grant Research Analyst.
- 02
Session 2 — August 12
Your Grant Writer.
- 03
Session 3 — August 19
Your Grant Manager, and running all three together as a team.
Between sessions
A direct Q&A line to me, with answers within one business day.
Replays
Every session recorded. Available through September 13.
Total commitment
4.5 hours live, about an hour of pre-work, and about an hour a week customizing.
You are deploying and customizing infrastructure I've already built, on your own work. That's why three weeks is enough to leave with something real.
The Story
I don't teach this from theory. I run it.
Inside Beckie Irvin Consulting and Research, AI employees do real work every day. They run my content. They run my research. They run operations that used to sit on my desk and only my desk. I built a firm that doesn't depend on me being available every hour it's open, and the AI team is a large part of how.
I've spent years helping more than thirty organizations stabilize their fundraising and build systems that don't collapse the moment one person is overloaded. The pattern is always the same: good people, real mission, and a grant function held together by one person's memory and effort. That model has a ceiling, and the ceiling is that person.
Build Your AI Grant Team is me handing you the same kind of infrastructure I built for myself, scoped to the part of your work that eats the most time and rewards a system the most: grants.
Why now
The grant function shouldn't live in one person's head.
Today
YOU ARE THE GRANT DEPT.
Research, drafting, and deadlines all move at the speed of one calendar. When you're out, the pipeline stops.
WITH AN AI TEAM
The work happens without running through you.
Research is done before you sit down. First drafts are already written. Deadlines are tracked by a system, not by memory.
The payoff
You stop being the bottleneck.
Pursue more funders. Ship stronger applications. Step away for two weeks and the function still holds.
A fit check
Who this is for
Executive directors, development directors, and grant writers at organizations that live on grants, and who are tired of the grant function depending entirely on one overextended person.
You do not need to be technical. If you can write an email and follow a checklist, you can build these. The whole course is designed for a non-technical leader, not a developer.
Read carefully
Who this is not for
- 01
This is not for you if you're looking for a shortcut. Building AI employees is real work.
- 02
This is not for you if you're looking for magical pots of money. One grant will not automatically fix all your problems.
- 03
This is not for you if you want AI to write final grant applications you send without reading. Anything that goes to a funder goes through you. That's by design.
The Difference
Why this isn't the free training.
There is a lot of free AI training right now, and most of it is good at what it does: it teaches you concepts. You'll finish understanding what AI can do and still have nothing running in your organization.
The gap between knowing what AI can do and having it deployed on your actual grants is the entire distance most people never cross. This course exists to close it.
You don't leave with notes. You leave with three employees working on your pipeline. That's the difference between education and implementation, and it's the only thing you're paying for here.

One more thing
Your grant function is one of the highest-leverage things in your organization to build a system around.
Right now it's running on you. In three weeks, it could be running on a team you built.
Build it right. Or keep carrying it by hand.
