Drafter has just had an update and there's a good reason to take it for a spin this month.
Every Funding Centre member (including single, multi or trial users) who uses Drafter between September 15 and October 12, 2026, automatically goes into the draw to win a 12-month Funding Centre membership (valued up to $500). There's nothing extra to fill in. Just reach the "Generate with AI" step in Drafter and you're in.
The big addition is "Quick start", which lets you turn an existing document into a first draft in minutes rather than hours.
Drafter now has a Quick Start option:
Drafter is built into the Funding Centre, so you can search for grants and draft your application in the one place. It's designed for community groups, councils, businesses and grant consultants who want to put together stronger applications, faster.
Video tutorials
Our recently refreshed video tutorial series walks you through the whole process of using Drafter, from creating your first draft to exporting the finished thing, all in short, bite-size videos.
