What you'll accomplish
This guide walks you through a Claude workflow that cuts your quarterly and annual funder report writing from 2–4 hours to 45–60 minutes. You'll produce professional, compelling narrative reports that meet funder expectations, using aggregate program data you already have, with Claude handling the writing.
What you'll need
- {{tool:Claude.plan}} subscription ({{tool:Claude.price}}) recommended for long reports. Free tier may have length limitations.
- Aggregate program outcome data (case counts, outcome percentages, program statistics)
- The funder's report template or required sections (from your grant agreement)
- One or two anonymized client vignettes (optional but powerful)
- Time needed: 30 minutes to learn the workflow; 45–60 minutes per report
- Cost: {{tool:Claude.price}} for Pro (recommended for full-length reports)
