[tutor_dashboard_password_reset]The AI assistant can speed up concept notes, proposals, logframes and donor budgets, or it can breach your organisation's AI-use policy, produce figures and evidence that will not survive a donor's check, and leave proposals that read as generic machine text rather than your own case for support. In each three-hour session your coach watches how you direct the assistant on your own concept notes, proposals, logframes and donor budgets, corrects your method live, and closes with a check against your AI-use policy. You drive the assistant, verify every output, and stay the author throughout.
One coach, hands-on · Live one-to-one AI sessions, three hours each · Built for African NGO proposal and grant writers
A skill is acquired by doing it under guidance, not by reading a prompt list. You can memorise clever prompts and still mis-structure a case for support, trust a statistic the assistant invented, or hand in a proposal that reads as machine-made. Coaching is where the method becomes yours: you direct the AI assistant on your own concept notes, proposals, logframes and donor budgets, your coach corrects your method in the moment, and each session adds another governed technique your calls, narratives, logframes, budgets and reports depend on, from precise briefing through to verification, ethical disclosure and a repeatable workflow. Open any pillar below to see how it moves your work.
Every module follows the same learning loop. The coach demonstrates the technique, you direct the AI yourself on your own material, and your method is corrected and checked until it is sound. You never simply copy a prompt alone and hope it holds.
Why this matters: A tool you do not drive is a tool you do not own. Practising the skill yourself is what makes it yours.
Across the coaching: this doing-it-yourself loop runs through all eight modules, from AI foundations to a complete governed AI workflow.
See the ten modulesYou work with one coach who stays with you for the whole engagement. They come to know your proposals, your donors and your habits, so the guidance is specific to you rather than generic advice repeated to a room.
Why this matters: Continuity compounds. A coach who already knows your work can go straight to what matters, session after session.
Note: your coach never replaces or overrules your programme lead. They work alongside your team, so the drafts you take back are already sharper.
See the ten modulesYou direct the AI on the work that matters, your own concept note, proposal or budget, or on practice material if you are equipping ahead. The prompt you refine, the evidence you extract, the logframe you plan and the paragraph you revise are all on your real work.
Why this matters: Method applied to your own file turns into real progress the same session, not abstract prompts you still have to transfer.
The bright line: you drive the AI throughout. The coach guides and corrects your method, but never has the AI do your work for you.
See the ten modulesBecause the coach watches you direct the AI live, you are corrected the instant your method slips, not weeks later. A prompt that invites fabrication, a citation the AI invented, a draft that reads as machine-made, all caught while you are still in the work.
Why this matters: Correction in the moment is the fastest way to build a skill. You do not carry the mistake into the next proposal.
How it lands: you leave each session with three concrete things to practise, so the correction turns straight into your next stretch of proposal work.
See the ten modulesMost proposal and grant writers are doing this around a heavy workload, family or distance. The coaching is built for exactly that: focused three-hour sessions you schedule flexibly, with the hands-on work done live and a clear method to practise between them.
Why this matters: A few focused sessions become a method you own, because the rhythm respects the little time a busy grant writer can spare.
Your session, mapped: the switcher further down the page walks through the cycle, from your prep to the compliance check.
See the ten modulesThe governed AI method you build in coaching does not expire when this proposal is funded. Built once, it carries you through the next concept notes, and through the proposals, logframes and reports that come after.
Why this matters: You are not renting help for one deadline. You are building a craft that serves every proposal you ever produce.

See the ten modulesCoaching builds the governed AI method into you, so you can drive the AI yourself, on this proposal and every one after it. You verify and own every output, and the method stays with you for good.
Every module follows the same loop: the coach shows the technique, you direct the AI assistant on your own work, and your method is corrected until it is sound and disclosable. Together they carry you from AI foundations to a complete, governed AI workflow you can explain and defend.

Your journey, 01 to 10
Most proposal and grant writers juggle proposals with a heavy workload and tight deadlines, so the coaching is built in focused three-hour sessions rather than a long course. The hands-on work happens in the session, where you direct the AI on your own material while the coach corrects your method, and between sessions you practise it yourself. Here is what a session cycle looks like.
Before your session you choose the real work you want to drive AI on: a call and guidelines to work through, a concept note or proposal section to structure, a logframe or donor budget to plan, or a draft to revise in your own voice.
You also bring your organisation's AI-use policy where you have one; if you do not, AOSARS supplies its default grant-writing integrity protocol for AI use. Nothing is required beforehand but your own task.
The session opens by framing the task: what you are asking the AI to accelerate, what stays yours to decide, and where the integrity line falls for this piece of work.
Your coach sets the governance up front, so every prompt that follows is disclosable and every output is one you can stand behind.
This is the heart of the session. You drive the AI on your real task while the coach watches your method: how you prompt, how you feed in your evidence and guidelines, how you push back on a weak or invented answer.
The coach corrects the method in the moment, so a prompt that invites fabrication or a statistic the AI made up is caught while you are still in the work, never after.
Every session closes the same way: a check of what you produced against your organisation's AI-use policy, so each AI-assisted step is disclosed, defensible and yours to explain.
You leave knowing exactly which steps used AI, how, and how you would account for each one to a donor or reviewer.
Between sessions you run the same governed method on more of your own work: extract the next set of evidence, plan the next budget, revise the next section, keeping the AI as the instrument and yourself as the author.
You leave each session with three concrete things to practise, so the method sets into habit before you meet again.
Within five working days of your session, a written summary of your method and the corrections follows, so nothing from the session is lost and you can act on it in your own time.
That summary, plus your three practice tasks, is what turns a few sessions into a governed AI method you own, and it holds across every proposal that follows.
Plays through on its own. Hover to pause, or click any day to jump.
A view of one session cycle. The hands-on work happens in the live session, and every session closes with a check against your organisation's AI-use policy.
Every session runs the same way, so you always know what to expect and how to prepare.
Coaching builds the governed AI method into you, not into a saved chat. These are the skills you walk away able to use yourself, on this proposal and every one after it, and to explain to any donor, reviewer or programme lead.
Understand what the AI assistant can and cannot do for grant writing, prompt it precisely, and keep it the instrument while you stay the author of every output.
Use AI to gather evidence and donor guidance faster, extract what your case needs, and plan and check your logframes and donor budgets, then verify everything it returns so your proposals are quicker to build and still trustworthy.
Use AI to structure and pressure-test your proposals, then revise them in your own voice, so the writing is stronger and never a machine-made substitute.
Catch invented statistics and citations, check figures and claims against the source, and close every step against your organisation's AI-use policy, so a misuse flag or a credibility query stops being a threat.
Assemble a disclosed, defensible AI method across your whole workload that you can explain to any donor, reviewer or programme lead, and keep it for every proposal after this one.
All three are built on the same one-to-one, hands-on AI coaching, in three-hour live sessions on your own proposal work. They differ in how many of the ten skill modules the coaching covers: the foundational core, modules 01 to 03; the same plus the full drafting arc, modules 01 to 07, with six months of e-learning access to those modules; or the complete ten-module set, modules 01 to 10, with six months of e-learning access to all ten. In every tier you do the work and own every output; we coach the skill. You pay to enrol, then schedule your sessions. Most proposal and grant writers choose the middle option.
Modules 01 to 03. Get the assistant working safely and accurately for you and choose a plan that spends your credits well, prompt it precisely, and keep your use ethical and honest with accurate answers, no invented content and private and confidential data protected.
All modules. Adds donor intelligence and landscape scanning that ends in a clear go or no-go decision, a defensible logframe, a donor budget you can justify, a full proposal in your own voice, AI-enhanced digital fundraising, everyday office-software work, reconciled figures and sources, donor reports written against your logframe, a business-development process map that marks where AI adds leverage, and a reusable system of responsible-AI standard procedures, templates and job-specific routines you keep.
All modules applied to your own funding work, with a supervised deliverable the Practitioner package does not carry: a build of your own live concept note, proposal and donor reports, drafted by you and reviewed with you section by section, every figure reconciled and every word authored and owned by you. One-to-one work is applied to your own donor landscape scan and go or no-go decision, your logframe and donor budget, and the digital-fundraising appeal that supports the bid; you leave with a business-development process map, a responsible-AI standard operating procedure, templates and job-specific routines you can reuse, and six months of e-learning access, your storage and your data held in your own tenancy, lets you revisit any module in your own time.
Two low-pressure ways to explore before you enrol: ask us to call you back on WhatsApp at a time that suits you, or book a fit call to talk it through and review your AI method and your proposals together. Neither commits you to anything.
Leave your details and the time that suits you. We call you on WhatsApp, so it costs you nothing.
Pick a slot yourself on our calendar and we meet by video. We can talk it through and, if you like, review your work together.
The questions proposal and grant writers ask most before enrolling. If yours is not here, ask before you pay.
We answer every enquiry personally, usually within a day, before you commit to anything.
It is one-to-one coaching, not a prompt guide or a video course. In each three-hour session a coach watches how you direct the AI assistant on your own concept notes, proposals, logframes and donor budgets, and corrects your method in the moment, which a static guide cannot do. You drive the AI throughout; the coach builds the governed method with you, and the skill stays yours.
You learn to drive the AI assistant as a drafting and cross-check partner, used alongside the tools you already work in: Word for proposals and concept notes, Excel for logframes, donor budgets and workplans, and your own reports, donor guidelines and evidence for verification. Everything runs on your own laptop or desktop, and you drive all of it yourself.
No, and that is the bright line. The coach never has the AI write your proposal, build your logframe or cost your budget, and never does it for you either. You direct the AI, you verify it, and you own every output. The coaching builds your method; it never produces the work you submit to a donor.
That worry is exactly what this coaching removes. You build a disclosed, governed method, and every session closes with a check against your organisation's AI-use policy, so each AI-assisted step is one you can explain and stand behind. You bring your organisation's policy or the donor's requirements if you have them; if not, we supply a default integrity protocol for AI use.
No. You are welcome to bring your own call, concept note, proposal, logframe or donor budget, but nobody is required to. AOSARS supplies practice grant-writing material and its default integrity protocol for anyone who prefers to start there. The method you build is the same either way.
Each session is three hours, one-to-one and live. The Foundations tier is two sessions, six hours in all; the Practitioner and Workflow Partner tiers are three sessions, nine hours in all. Sessions are scheduled flexibly around your workload and deadlines. There is no e-learning component; the value is the live, corrected practice, and a written summary of your method follows within five working days of each session.
No. The coaching suits proposals officers, grant writers, programme and fundraising officers, monitoring and evaluation officers, and anyone in an NGO who has to produce concept notes, proposals, logframes or donor budgets. The coach tunes the work to your role and the documents you actually handle, so the AI method fits how you already work.
