If you're like most grant writers, you spend a lot of time searching for past proposals that match the criteria of current funding opportunities so that you can reuse content. You know you've written the perfect answer but can't quite recall where to find it. The search that ensues can be extremely time-consuming and frustrating. Grantable's Smart Library is here to help!

With our library, you can store all your best proposals, which are automatically indexed allowing you to search through them by keyword or number, and easily search for content using either method. This feature will save you huge amounts of time and relieve the pain of repetitive grant applications!

How does the Grantable Smart Library work?

Upload your best grant proposals and any other document with content you may wish to draw from when writing grant proposals. This could include email newsletters, annual reports, marketing copy, and other materials that contain writing about your organization and work. Documents are automatically indexed making them searchable when you're writing a grant in Grantable. The next time you need to find that perfect phrase to reuse, just input a few keywords you can remember and find what you need in no time.

How can the Smart Library save me time by reducing repetition?

Experienced grant writers know that many of the questions across proposals ask for similar information. Reusing content from previous proposals and adapting it for other applications is standard practice when seeking grant funding and has many benefits including saving time and improving the consistency of your communications. If your organization has worked hard to write well about itself, it makes sense to get the most out of the writing.

However, as the number of proposals grows over time it can become difficult to locate a single phrase or statistic across hundreds or thousands of pages of documents. Many grant writers have experienced the frustration of searching through folders, email inboxes, and pestering colleagues to find the location of a single sentence or paragraph. Searching Grantable's Smart Library and finding what you need, instantly.

Smart Library key's features make it powerful

Real-world examples of how people are using the Smart Library to get their work done more efficiently

Let's say you're asked to provide a brief biography of your organization's leader, and you know you've supplied this information in another proposal in your Smart Library. All you need to do is open the Seach function in the Grantable editor and type the person's name. This will call forth all the instances in your library where their name appears, and you can easily select the content you need to copy and paste into the proposal you're working on.

Or, perhaps you remember a particular statistic that was used as part of an answer you're looking for, but you can't locate the proposal. You can search for that number and find the paragraph where you referenced it. Then, simply copy, paste, and update it for your needs.
