Good Grants Launches Privacy-First AI Tools for Grantmaking Sector

Good Grants, a global leader in grant management software, announced the launch of its new suite of secure, privacy-first AI tools, purpose-built to help grantmakers work more efficiently, fairly and at scale—without compromising data protection or confidentiality. The company's Managing Director, Richard de Nys, emphasized that while AI is transforming how organizations work, privacy and compliance remain non-negotiable for grantmakers. Rather than focusing on rapid implementation, Good Grants prioritized meaningful integration that powers good grantmaking and increases impact safely and securely.

Unlike many technology providers that rely on third-party processing, Good Grants' AI tools operate entirely within the company's own secure virtual private cloud (VPC). This ensures that all grantmaking data remains private, fully compliant and never leaves the Good Grants environment. De Nys stated that security, privacy and governance are built into every layer of the system, giving grantmakers confidence that they can use AI responsibly while knowing their data remains protected at all times. The AI capabilities are completely optional and opt-in, allowing organizations to maintain total control over what data is accessible to AI, who can configure its use and who can view its outputs.

The first feature in the new suite, AI fields, enables grant managers and program administrators to ask natural-language questions and instantly generate insights directly within the Good Grants platform. This could include summarizing applications, generating feedback for grantees, or performing complex queries such as calculating allocations or identifying outstanding reports. De Nys explained that AI fields are designed to make grantmaking easier and smarter, allowing users to analyze, summarize or extract insights from application data in seconds, all within existing workflows. Users can also choose the LLM models they trust, such as Claude Sonnet, GPT OSS, Qwen3 and more, depending on location.

Good Grants emphasizes that its AI tools are not about chasing trends, but about building a sustainable and responsible AI framework that grows with the evolving needs of the grantmaking community. De Nys noted that the company has always prioritized substance over novelty, and their AI roadmap reflects that commitment. Every future feature will be developed with the same focus on fairness, safety and real-world usefulness. The introduction of AI fields marks the beginning of an expanding family of intelligent, compliant tools designed to enhance decision-making, streamline operations and promote equitable grantmaking. As organizations increasingly seek ways to leverage artificial intelligence while maintaining ethical standards, Good Grants' approach addresses critical concerns about data sovereignty and responsible innovation in the philanthropic sector.
