Grantmaking organizations play a crucial role in supporting community initiatives, but managing a large volume of applications and ensuring equitable funding can be challenging. To help grantmaking organizations overcome these obstacles, we are happy to introduce AI-Assisted Application Screening, powered by our SmartSimple Cloud +AI.
AI-Assisted Application Screening leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform the grant application review process by enabling grantmakers to automatically pre-screen applications by comparing an application’s contents with a program's eligibility criteria and requirements. This process identifies ineligible applications without the use of specific validation criteria.
With AI-Assisted Application Screening, SmartSimple Cloud +AI automatically generates a grade and a summary explaining the reason behind the grade. The process can then automatically update the status of the application accordingly, categorizing submitted applications into buckets like "AI Pre-Screen Pass" or "AI Pre-Screen Fail."
Grant program staff can access a list displaying submitted applications, allowing them to quickly process incoming requests and prioritize which applications to address first. Sorting the list of recently submitted applications by descending grade helps grant program staff prioritize applications with the highest likelihood of approval, streamlining the review process. Additionally, the AI-generated grade can also be displayed with the sorted list for grant staff.
The AI-Assisted Application Screening offers a transformative solution for both grantmakers and grant applicants by streamlining the grant application submission and review processes, as well as promoting fairness and transparency. Automating the pre-screening process and providing valuable insights, helps grantmakers save time and make data-driven decisions while empowering applicants with faster feedback and equitable evaluation. Ultimately, this innovative approach enhances the overall grantmaking experience, leading to more successful funding outcomes and resulting in greater positive impacts on communities.
