Grant Agent

The Grant Agent does what a grant consultant does.

It finds funders, writes applications, manages submissions and awards, and holds your organization's institutional grant memory. The scope is researched, not asserted. Available now, $1,500 CAD per month.

Scope

130 tasks. 13 lifecycle phases. 6 services.

We mapped the work a Canadian grant consultant actually does by going through firm service descriptions, RFPs from real engagements, sector pricing surveys, and the connective work that fills consultants' hours but rarely shows up on their websites. The result is 130 distinct tasks across 13 lifecycle phases, organized into six services.

Services

The six services

Each service organizes a focused slice of the Grant Agent's scope. They share data, so activating one makes the others lighter to set up.

Onboarding

Document-first. Under one hour across two sessions.

You upload your strongest existing documents. The Grant Agent extracts what it needs. A short strategic conversation fills what documents can't capture.

Session 1: Document upload (about 30 minutes)

  • +Your two strongest past grant applications
  • +Current case for support
  • +Most recent audited financials
  • +Current strategic plan
  • +Board roster with bios (optional)
  • +Annual report (optional)
  • +Logic models or theory-of-change documents (optional)
  • +Funder reports from the past two years (optional)

Session 2: Strategic conversation (about 15 minutes)

  • ·What's the most important grant or funding goal in the next twelve months?
  • ·Are there funders you've explicitly decided not to approach, and why?
  • ·Who at your organization is the final reviewer before any application goes out?

Hard limits

Five things the Grant Agent never does.

These aren't limitations. They're how a serious sector product behaves.

No auto-submission to funder portals
Funder portals are run by funders. You press submit, not the agent.
No signing on your behalf
The agent generates documents. You sign them.
No auto-generated Indigenous engagement language
This work belongs with your organization's relationships and voice.
No storage of bank or SIN data
We don't store account numbers, SINs, or restricted financial identifiers.
No use of your data to train other customers' agents
Your data trains your agent only.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before signing up.

How does this compare to a consultant we already work with?

If the consultant is doing strategy, board-level relationship work, or in-person facilitation, the Grant Agent doesn't replace them. If the consultant is doing prospect research, application drafting, submission management, and reporting, the Grant Agent does that work at a fraction of the cost, available continuously.

What if our data is sensitive?

Your documents and the agent's outputs are stored on Canadian servers, encrypted, accessible only to your authenticated users and to Operiv staff investigating issues you raise. We don't store bank accounts, SINs, or other restricted identifiers. We don't use your data to train models for other customers.

Can the agent learn our organization's voice?

Yes. The more it has from your organization's writing (past applications, case for support, annual reports), the closer its drafts match your established voice. The first session uploads these documents; the agent extracts patterns from them.

What happens if the agent makes a mistake?

You review every output before any external use. The agent drafts; you decide what to send. If something needs to be corrected, you correct the draft, or ask the agent to rewrite it, before submission.

Can we see example outputs?

Yes, on a discovery call. We don't post anonymized samples publicly because grant applications contain organization-specific detail and we don't share customer materials.

What if we cancel?

Cancel any time. Your data is available for export for 90 days after cancellation, then deleted from our systems.
