Existing assistant; expansion designed

The Challenge

Grant history and supporting information were distributed across donor, document, spreadsheet and grant-management systems, with most lifecycle work concentrated in one staff role.

The Approach

Bankie's existing donor-information assistant formed the foundation for a proposed grant-intelligence layer. The expansion connects source-linked history, configurable lookback, form assistance and explicit handling of missing or conflicting information.

Capabilities

  • Existing DonorPerfect retrieval
  • Historical grant search
  • Source links
  • Word/Excel form assistance
  • Drafting profiles
  • Configurable historical lookback
  • Outcome spreadsheet access
  • Missing/conflicting-information identification
  • Human verification and submission

Workflow

  1. Ask a grant question
  2. Retrieve approved history and donor data
  3. Trace original source
  4. Assemble suggested answer or form draft
  5. Flag gaps/conflicts
  6. Staff verifies and submits
  • Google Cloud
  • DonorPerfect
  • SharePoint (v2 scope)
  • GEMS retained
  • Excel
  • Word
  • Teams context

Engagement Outcome

The existing assistant provides the starting point for a source-backed grant workflow. The v2 design defines historical retrieval, form assistance and staff review without presenting the expansion as completed deployment.
