For nonprofits and the people who write for them

The mission is the hard part.
The paperwork shouldn’t be.

Rubrically reads the solicitation, builds the checklist, drafts from your own words, and shows you where the points are — so your team can spend the week on the work only they can do.

In your words

Drafts are built from your documents, so the voice stays yours.

Nothing invented

If the solicitation doesn't say it, we leave it blank and ask you.

Always cited

Every requirement shows the sentence it came from.

Free to start

Reading a solicitation honestly shouldn't cost anything.

How it works

From the notice on your desk to the report you file in two years.

Six steps, one place, and the same set of true facts about your organization carrying the whole way through.

  1. 01

    Read the notice

    Upload the solicitation. Every shall, must, attachment, page limit, deadline and scored criterion becomes a row you can check off — each one carrying the sentence it came from, so you can see we didn't make it up.

  2. 02

    See what's missing

    Eligibility gates, open requirements, the attachment checklist, and where the points actually sit. It updates the moment you mark something done.

  3. 03

    Draft in your voice

    Add your past proposals and annual report once. Rubrically drafts each section from your own words — and asks you for anything it can't find, instead of guessing.

  4. 04

    Check the score

    Your draft, read against the funder's own rubric before you send it. Criterion by criterion, with the sentence from your draft that earns each one.

  5. 05

    Hand it in

    A submission-ready .docx in the order the solicitation asks for, with anything still unfinished clearly marked. Nothing quietly filled in.

  6. 06

    Report back

    When the money lands, the same fact base writes your progress reports — what you promised, against what your own data shows.

Before you send it

Find the points you were
about to leave behind.

Rubrically reads your draft the way the review panel will — against the scored criteria from that solicitation — and shows you what isn’t answered yet, while there’s still time. Every claim that something is covered quotes the sentence in your draft that covers it. It won’t invent a score, because a score it invented wouldn’t be the panel’s.

Points are the weights the solicitation published — never our estimate of them.

Our promise

We’ll never put words in your mouth.

Your name goes on this application, not ours. A number we invented would be a number you signed for — so we built the whole thing to refuse.

We quote the solicitation.

If we can't point to the sentence a requirement came from, it doesn't go in your matrix. An unstated page limit stays blank rather than becoming a plausible-looking guess that costs you the submission.

We quote you.

The drafter may only say something about your organization if your own documents say it first. Anything else comes back as a highlighted blank for you to fill — and a check flags any number we can't find in your files.

We tell you what we don't know.

No silent autofill, no confident filler. If something is missing you'll see exactly what and exactly where, while there's still time to do something about it.

Who it’s for

Built for the people already doing this work.

Not a replacement for the person who knows your programs. A way to give them their week back.

One-person development shops

Where the grants lead is also the events lead, and Friday's deadline is competing with everything else on the desk.

Growing development teams

A dozen funders a year, program staff who aren't writers, and a boilerplate library living in six different folders.

Consultants and grant writers

Carrying five to twenty clients, billing by the proposal, and losing hours to a blank page that a checklist could have filled.

Three colleagues seen from behind, gathered around a table of papers in front of a bright window.

Pricing

Reading the solicitation is free. Always.

Understanding what a funder is asking for shouldn’t be behind a paywall. Drafting, scoring and assembly are the paid part.
