The tool is designed for small charities, community groups, parish councils, sports clubs, and individual applicants seeking funding from charitable trusts, local authorities, or community funds. It helps you write a covering letter or supporting statement to accompany a grant application — making the case for your project clearly and compellingly.

Grant funders want to understand your project's purpose, who it will benefit, how much you need and what for, and how you will measure success. They also want reassurance that your organisation is credible and that you have the capacity to deliver. LetterDeck prompts you for each of these elements and structures your letter to address them in the order funders typically expect.

The tool supports applications to a wide range of grant types: Arts Council England small grants, National Lottery Community Fund (Awards for All), local authority community grants, charitable trust applications, and county-level funds. The AI tailors the tone and emphasis of your letter depending on the funder type you specify.

No. Many grants are available to unregistered community groups, sports clubs, parish councils, and individuals — particularly smaller awards under £10,000. LetterDeck can generate letters for applicants of any formal status, adapting the language to reflect whether you are a registered charity, a CIC, an unincorporated association, or an individual.
