Research is separated from decisions
Potential grants are found, but eligibility, fit, restrictions, effort, and the reason to pursue or skip are not kept together.
Yui in development · Grant operations for small nonprofits
Keep grant research, drafting, deadlines, and reporting connected.
Yui is in development as one reviewed workspace for grant opportunities, fit decisions, approved organization facts, program evidence, drafts, budgets, deadlines, awards, and reports. I am speaking with small nonprofit teams now to validate the workflow before broader availability.
The grant operations problem 現状
The organization should not have to rebuild itself for every application.
Mission language, program descriptions, leadership details, budgets, evidence, prior answers, deadlines, and reporting obligations often live in different folders and inboxes. Yui organizes the work around one reviewed record of what is true.
Drafts restart from memory
Approved facts and prior answers are scattered, so staff rewrite the same organization and program information under deadline pressure.
Awards create hidden obligations
What was promised, when reports are due, and how the approved budget connects to reporting can become another disconnected tracker.
The funding workflow 結い
Find it. Qualify it. Write it. Review it. Submit it. Report it.
Find
Create the opportunity record
Bring in a grant and organize the funder, amount, deadline, eligibility, restrictions, source links, and required materials.
Qualify
Decide before drafting
Review fit, risks, restrictions, effort, and the reason to pursue or skip before staff invest significant application time.
Write
Draft from approved knowledge
Use organization facts, program information, budgets, documents, evidence, and previously approved answers as source material.
Review
Check the answer and the evidence
Confirm that the draft answers the question, the numbers align, and material claims are supported by the organization's records.
Submit
Keep the human decision
Your team reviews and approves every application, budget, and report, then submits through the funder's own process.
Report
Track what the award requires
Keep the submitted application, award details, approved budget, reporting deadlines, and reporting work connected.
Approved organization knowledge 知識
Build a reusable source of truth for grant work.
Yui is most useful when the organization can distinguish approved facts and evidence from draft language that still needs review.
- Organization identity and leadership information
- Mission, history, and service-area facts
- Program descriptions and intended outcomes
- Population and community context
- Budgets and approved financial inputs
- Evidence documents and source links
- Previously approved application answers
- Grant opportunities and fit decisions
- Drafts, revisions, and review status
- Submitted application records
- Awards and reporting deadlines
- Post-award reporting workspace
The human review boundary
Your team reviews and approves every application, budget, and report. Nothing is sent anywhere without that approval, and the organization submits through the funder's own process.
Yui supports careful research, drafting, review, deadlines, awards, and reporting. It does not act on its own, does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or grant-compliance advice, and does not guarantee funding.
Implementation 実装
What grant operations setup can include.
Workspace configuration

Grant management questions 質問
What the organization controls and what Yui supports.
- Does Yui write and submit grants for us?
- Yui supports research, fit review, drafting, budgets, deadlines, awards, and reporting. Your team reviews and approves every application and submits through the funder's own process.
- Can Yui promise that we will receive funding?
- No. It supports a more organized, sourced, and reviewed process. It does not guarantee a funder's decision.
- Does Yui replace our accounting system?
- No. The organization's books remain in its accounting system. Yui can organize approved grant budgets and reporting work, but it is not a fund accounting platform.
- Can we import current grant records?
- Current information can be imported when it fits the agreed template and boundaries. Historical reconstruction, incomplete records, and extensive cleanup are scoped separately.
