What Our Users Say

See how non-profit organisations are transforming their grant writing process with Hinchilla

"Hinchilla has been fantastic. Being able to upload key information, such as past grant applications and reports, detailed financial information, and even tone of voice, and then have its powerful AI generate answers to all application or reporting questions is absolutely game-changing. With the general move to application forms that we are seeing in grant fundraising, I can't recommend this tool enough."

Senior Trusts & Grants Manager, Meningitis Research Foundation

"Hinchilla has turned a week of work into a day. I recently did a big government homelessness bid with a short deadline that I simply wouldn't have attempted otherwise. Because the first draft came back so quickly and with such good content, I only needed to spend another eight or nine hours on it rather than 40 or 50. More bids are going in, and that means we're more likely to survive."

"I have been using the beta version of Hinchilla for around 3 months and have used it to frame seven applications. It has provided substantial time saving benefits and collates material in accessible form in both the structure and size asked for. As a created-for-purpose platform, it goes further to support grant application preparation than others available."

Head of Development, National Eczema Society

"I've been really impressed by Hinchilla. It produces responses that read much less like AI than other platforms and does a great job of aligning messaging with the aims and objectives of the funder."

Founder, The Together Project

"We secured £700 from the Asda Foundation, and completed the application just 24 hours before the deadline. Without Hinchilla, we simply couldn't have done it."

"Hinchilla is an amazing for getting the structure of an application so I can focus on the detail and nuances. It's definitely better than any other AI I've tried in this area. Being able to generate funding applications that are broadly similar but have a different key focus, without having to laboriously rewrite and adapt manually, has been brilliant. It's definitely saved me a lot of time and the content doesn't sound like AI churn, it feels very different to generic tools like ChatGPT."

"I was impressed with Hinchilla, specifically that it researched each trust's requirements/application rules and then created a draft for me based on this using the information in the documents I had uploaded. The platform's further research added some very useful details I wasn't aware of - for example picking up a Trust's connection to the local area, which I was then able to reference in my application."
