Connect Bespoke Grants to Claude.ai (Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Claude for Nonprofits) and ask Claude real funder-research questions. Claude calls our database of 225,000+ U.S. foundations and 13M+ grants from public IRS filings, and uses your saved boilerplate to write LOIs in your org's actual voice. One conversation, no copy-paste between five tabs.
Every example below is a real prompt a Pro user types into Claude. Behind each one, Claude calls one or more of our MCP tools, gets structured data back, and synthesizes a useful answer.
"What should I work on this week?"
Claude pulls your pipeline and your scored open RFPs in the same turn and writes back a prioritized briefing: "You have 3 deadlines in the next 14 days. The Geraldine Dodge one is most urgent because you haven't drafted the LOI yet. Want me to draft it now?"
"Find 3 NJ family foundations that fund after-school programs. Then draft a 1-page LOI for the strongest match."
Claude chains three calls: ranked search results, deep profile of the top match, and your saved boilerplate. Then it writes the LOI in your actual voice, with funder-specific framing. One prompt, one draft, ready to polish.
"Give me a one-page pipeline summary I can put in front of my board on Thursday. Highlight wins, urgent deadlines, and three foundations we should consider adding."
Claude pulls your pipeline, identifies wins and upcoming deadlines, runs a search to surface three new candidates, and writes it all as polished prose you can paste into Google Docs. Faster than building a slide.
"Tell me about Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — are they a fit for us, and have we tracked them already?"
Claude pulls the full profile and cross-checks against your pipeline. Returns a decision-grade answer in 10 seconds: "RWJF is huge ($532M annual giving) and invitation-only. You're not currently tracking them. Realistic alternatives in your focus area: Mother Cabrini, Healthcare Foundation of NJ, Devils & Dust."
"I'm doing my weekly hour of funder research. Walk me through 5 new candidates I haven't looked at yet. For each, tell me the application route and 2-3 recent comparable grants."
Claude excludes funders already in your pipeline, returns five new candidates, and pulls a deep profile on each with comparable recent grants. Replaces a workflow that today takes three hours of clicking between tools.
The integration is included with a Bespoke Grants Pro subscription ($39/mo, 14-day free trial). You also need a Claude.ai subscription on your side — any tier works (Pro, Team, Enterprise, or the free Claude for Nonprofits program at anthropic.com/for-nonprofits).
Only what you ask it to look at. When you say "find me funders," Claude calls our search tool and reads the results. When you say "show my pipeline," Claude reads your pipeline. It never sees your data unprompted, and the connection works one-way — Claude reads from Bespoke Grants, but write actions (adding to pipeline, etc.) still happen in our app.
For most one-off questions, the web app is faster. The MCP wins when you're doing something that requires multiple steps in sequence — research five funders, draft an LOI for the strongest one, then write the board summary. In the web app that's 15 clicks. In Claude it's one conversation.
Yes, but most people drop them after a few weeks. Instrumentl + Claude is what nonprofits are using today by gluing two tools together; the connection is awkward and one of them costs $179/mo. Bespoke Grants is one tool, $39/mo, and the Claude integration is native rather than bolted on.
Open Integrations in the app, click Revoke next to the token. Claude loses access instantly. Nothing else about your Bespoke Grants account changes.
Yes — by design. When Claude calls our tools, the results stream back through Claude's API so Claude can synthesize an answer for you. We don't store anything on the Anthropic side. Each tool call goes through your bearer token, which we hash at rest and validate per call.
