AI for Nonprofits.
Grant Writing, Donor Management, Reports.
A local AI assistant built for organisations that cannot afford to waste time or money. Grant proposals, donor outreach, and impact reporting - free for personal use, with beneficiary data staying on your machine.
The reality
Most nonprofits operate with tiny teams doing the work of organisations three times their size. Grant writing alone can consume 20-30% of a small charity's staff capacity. Donor stewardship, programme reporting, and board governance all compete for the same exhausted people.
Cloud AI subscriptions add cost to organisations already operating on restricted budgets. And nonprofits often handle sensitive beneficiary information - health conditions, financial hardship, personal circumstances - that should not be processed on commercial external servers without careful consideration.
How Skales helps nonprofits
Grants, donors, and impact reports - at zero ongoing cost.
Grant proposals that compete
Describe your project, target population, and measurable outcomes. Skales drafts a structured grant proposal: problem statement, objectives, methodology, evaluation plan, and budget narrative. Strong first drafts, faster.
Donor communication
Draft personalised donor thank-you letters, impact updates, and renewal appeals. Skales adapts tone and content for major donors, regular givers, and first-time supporters - without treating them all the same.
Free for personal use
Nonprofits run on thin margins. Skales is completely free for personal use. Bring your own API key at provider rates, or run offline with Ollama at zero ongoing cost. No per-message fees, ever.
Volunteer and community comms
Write volunteer briefings, community newsletters, and programme updates. Maintain a consistent voice across different staff writers. Skales drafts from bullet points; your team reviews and personalises.
Impact reports and annual reviews
Turn programme data, case studies, and beneficiary feedback into compelling impact reports. Skales structures the narrative, highlights the numbers that matter, and writes the stories that donors respond to.
Board and trustee materials
Draft board meeting agendas, trustee briefing packs, and governance documentation. Keep your board informed and engaged without spending half your week writing reports that take five minutes to read.
Example: Grant application sprint
You ask: "We run a food bank serving 200 families per week in South Leeds. Apply for a £15,000 community grant to expand cold storage. Write the project description."
Skales: A compelling 400-word project description with need evidence, objectives, target beneficiaries, and measurable outcomes.
You ask: "Write a budget narrative explaining why we need £4,200 for cold storage equipment, installation, and first-year maintenance."
Skales: A clear, justified budget narrative that funders can follow without specialist knowledge of your operations.
You ask: "Draft an impact update email to our 300 regular donors. We delivered 8,400 meals last quarter, up 12% year on year. Warm, grateful tone."
Skales: A heartfelt donor update that brings the numbers to life and makes donors feel their contribution matters.
“We went from submitting 4 grants a year to 11. Same team. Same hours. Just better tools.”
