Build a grant-writing knowledge base
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe a grant-writing knowledge base where past proposals, funder notes, outcomes, commitments, and reporting deadlines become searchable and useful for the next draft.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a grant-writing product you sign up for and configure — it’s an AI app builder that creates custom software for you.
You describe what you need in plain words, and Kliv builds the real app: the data, the logic, the screens, and the workflows. You own the result, you can change it later by asking, and you run it on your own accounts. It isn’t a template with your name on it.
On this page, that app is a grant-writing knowledge base that stores proposals, funder records, commitments, deadlines, search, and drafting workflows. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this page focuses on one useful shape.
Why past proposals should be usable
Most nonprofits already have strong grant language. It is often spread across old proposals, reports, funder letters, and folder names only one former staff member understood.
Kliv builds a grant-writing knowledge base from those records. Past proposals stay attached to funders, amounts, outcomes, and commitments. Staff can search by topic instead of filename, and drafting help pulls from your own approved language instead of generic nonprofit text.
What the knowledge base holds
Five records that turn old documents into a working drafting system.
Proposal library
Every submission stores its funder, ask amount, program area, and outcome. The $85,000 win and the useful decline both stay labeled.
Funder files
Each funder has a page with proposals, award letters, reports, notes, priorities, and call history in one place.
Current boilerplate
Mission language, organization history, evaluation text, and budget narratives are versioned so drafts use approved wording.
Commitments register
Won grants store deliverables, headcounts, promised outcomes, and reporting dates so new proposals do not contradict active obligations.
Drafting agent
When asked for a section, the agent drafts from your own winning language and names the proposals it used. Staff still own the final text.
An example: Marisol’s youth-orchestra nonprofit
Here’s how one nonprofit might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own archive, funders, programs, commitments, and review rules.
Old proposals become searchable
Marisol uploads 15 years of proposals, reports, and funder letters. Each document can be found as soon as it lands.
Staff find the strongest past language
A program officer searches for youth outcomes measurement and finds three useful proposals, including the 2019 $85,000 win.
A draft starts from proven text
A new funder wants a letter of inquiry. The agent drafts from the two closest wins, cites both, and leaves the ask amount and final judgment to Marisol.
A risky promise is checked
Before submission, Marisol asks whether the organization has ever promised a per-student cost figure. The knowledge base says no and cites near misses.
The outcome improves the next draft
When the decision arrives, Marisol files the outcome on the proposal. A win, decline, or funder question all become context for the next deadline.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include document types, fields, roles, drafting rules, and deadlines. Here are three to build on:
Won-proposal library
A searchable archive labeled by outcome.
“Build a proposal library for our nonprofit with 15 years of grant applications. Store funder name, ask amount, program area, submission date, outcome, award amount, and report deadlines. Let staff search by topic and find matching sections even when filenames are inconsistent.”
Funder briefing pages
One page per relationship.
“Build funder profiles for our development team. For each foundation, collect every proposal, award letter, decline note, report, contact, priority area, last conversation, and next deadline. Create a briefing page staff can read before any call.”
Report deadline tracker
Awards with deliverables and reminders.
“Build a grant reporting tracker where each award stores deliverables, promised headcounts, budget restrictions, report due dates, responsible staff, and reminder emails at 60, 30, and 7 days before each deadline.”
What the knowledge base does at deadline
It remembers what you have and have not promised. Staff can ask whether past proposals made a specific commitment, and the answer cites the closest records.
Roles control access. Development staff may edit everything, program staff may search proposals, and board members may see dashboards. Those permissions apply to search and agent answers too.
Deadlines are scheduled. Each award carries reporting dates and responsible staff. Reminders go out before each one.
Grants fund the mission; the rest of the organization needs systems too. Kliv for nonprofits covers donors, programs, and volunteers.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder. You describe the grant-writing knowledge base you need, Kliv builds it, and you own the result.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, the logic, and the screens for your specific case — not a theme or preset workflow you fill in.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You ask for changes in plain words, and Kliv updates the app without making you start over.
Will it write the grant for us?
It can draft from your own corpus: winning sections, current boilerplate, reports, and funder history. Your staff still decide the argument, ask, and final wording.
Should declined proposals go in too?
Yes. Declined proposals show what did not work, what questions funders asked, and which language may need changing.
Where do draft answers come from?
From the documents and records you provide. The agent cites the proposals or boilerplate it used so staff can review the source.
Who can read funder correspondence?
Whoever your roles allow. Development might read everything, program staff might read proposals but not correspondence, and volunteers might see none of it.
Can it track reporting deadlines?
Yes. Each won grant can store deliverables, reporting dates, responsible staff, and reminders.
Can it prevent conflicting promises?
It can help by searching past proposals and active commitments before a new application goes out. Final review stays with staff.
Can we export the archive later?
Yes. Proposals, funder files, commitments, and the app’s source code remain yours.
Can it handle PDFs and old documents?
Yes. You can upload existing files, index them for search, and refine them into structured records over time.
