About Claim
Funding should follow need, not fluency.
Claim is free AI infrastructure for communities. We help people describe their projects in their own language, shape them into proposals funders can read, and find the funders most likely to say yes.
We exist because the global funding system has a hidden grammar: logframes, theories of change, monitoring frameworks, the "right" English. It locks out exactly the people most affected by the climate and social crises that funding is meant to address.
Why Claim exists
Billions in climate and social funding go to organisations that already know how to ask for it.
The communities most affected by climate change and social inequality are often the least equipped to navigate the application process. Not because they lack ideas, leadership or solutions, but because the system is built around hidden requirements.
Language
Most funders only accept applications in English or in their own national language. This is still true when the project itself will run in Tok Pisin, Samoan or Fijian, or in language or Aboriginal English for First Nations communities.
Application expectations
Logframes, theories of change, M&E plans, indicators. A grammar developed by Western institutions, unclear to anyone outside them.
Institutional knowledge
Knowing which funder cares about what, when to apply, how to phrase a budget. Knowledge that lives inside NGOs and consultancies, not in the communities doing the work.
Claim exists to dismantle those barriers, gently, in your language, on your terms.
How the grant builder works
No forms, no jargon. Choose your language and tell us what is happening. The assistant asks gentle follow-up questions and drafts a proposal you can edit and download.
Web
Full-featured grant builder in your browser. Save drafts, edit any section, export to PDF or Word.
Mobile App
Coming soon. Apply from your phone with offline drafts that sync when you're back online.
Coming soon. For low-bandwidth contexts, answer questions over WhatsApp and get your proposal back as a voice note or document.
Supported languages
The grant builder works in every language below: you talk in your language and your proposal is drafted in your language. Some are more thoroughly tested than others, so for newer ones we suggest a fluent speaker reads the proposal before you send it. See how much review we recommend for each language.
