AI for your foundation: more time for your mission, less administration. We build AI that takes admin off your foundation office.

Checking applications, paying out instalments, requesting reports, recording donations: routine takes up a lot of time in every foundation office. AI Værk works with grant-making and operating foundations from the first call to a solution in daily use. Applicant and donor data stays under your control, on a server in your foundation if you prefer.

Where AI saves your foundation time

Pre-check grant applications

The software compares each application with your funding guidelines, drafts requests for missing documents and summarises it on one page for the meeting.

Keep instalments and reports in view

It reminds you of instalments that are due, requests reports on the use of funds in good time and matches incoming reports to the right project.

Record donations and say thank you

Donations on the bank statement go to the right donor, even when the name is spelt differently. Thank-you letters and donation receipts are ready to send.

From grant application to a finished meeting brief

  1. 01

    An application arrives

    A youth club applies through your online form for funding for a holiday project. The financing plan is missing.

  2. 02

    Spot the gap

    The software compares the application with your funding guidelines and drafts a short request for the plan. Your grants officer sends it with one click.

  3. 03

    A brief for the board

    Once the plan arrives, the software summarises the application on one page: project, amount, own contribution, link to the foundation’s purpose. It goes into the brief for the next board meeting, and your board decides.

Applicant and donor data stays where you decide.

You hold the names, bank details and project plans of many people. So you decide where the software runs, and we set it up exactly that way.

  • A data processing agreement under the GDPR, signed before the software sees real data.
  • Your data is never used to train AI models.
  • Every access is logged. You see who opened what, and when.
  • When we stop working together, you get all your data back and we delete our copies.

Book an initial call

  • On a server in your foundation

    The AI runs on your own hardware, on your premises. The data stays inside your foundation.

    Private AI
  • On a dedicated server in Germany

    A server reserved for your foundation alone, in an ISO 27001 certified data centre in Germany.

  • With a cloud AI in the EU

    An AI service with data centres in the EU and a data processing agreement. Often the quickest start for tasks that involve no personal data.

Connected to your grant management system

You work with PROANDI or another system. Document requests and summaries land where your team works on applications. Your software

PROANDI already includes online applications, interim reports and reports on the use of funds. Where your grant management system offers an interface or an import route, we pass the results straight to it. Otherwise your team moves them across from a work list with one click, Excel lists included.

Product names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners. Mentioning them implies no partnership with the vendors and no endorsement by them.

Questions before you start

May we use AI with applicant and donor data?

Yes, with a data processing agreement under the GDPR, which we sign before we start. If the software and the AI model run on a server at your foundation, the data never leaves your premises.

Does it work with our grant management system?

Yes. Where PROANDI or your system offers an interface, we pass the results straight to it, otherwise through a work list. We also connect Excel lists, your inbox and your accounts.

What does it cost to get started?

The initial call is free. If the task is already clear, we go straight to a proposal. If it needs a closer look, the AI audit costs €500 and is credited in full when you implement with AI Værk. Small solutions start at around €2,000. If we find no worthwhile use for AI, the fee is waived; expenses agreed in advance still apply. Set-up, licences, hosting and support are itemised separately in the proposal.

Is it worth it for a small foundation?

Often especially there, because a few people carry a lot of routine, sometimes as volunteers. In the AI audit we work with your figures. If it does not pay off, we tell you plainly.

Who works with us on the implementation?

We handle consulting, design and training as well as development, integration and operation. We are happy to work alongside your in-house IT or your IT service provider.
