Democratizing Grant Access
Empowering organizations and individuals to secure funding through AI-powered grant writing assistance
Ira Revels
Founder & CEO
With a passion for bridging the gap between underresourced communities and critical funding resources, Ira Revels founded My Grant CoPilot to transform how organizations and individuals access grant opportunities.
Drawing on extensive experience in technology, social impact, and community development, Ira recognized that the grant application process was unnecessarily complex and time-consuming—creating barriers for those who needed funding most.
My Grant CoPilot leverages artificial intelligence to level the playing field, making professional-quality grant writing accessible to nonprofits, small businesses, and individuals who lack dedicated grant writing staff.
