The Problem
AI tools don't feel like they were built for the work I do.
No tool can replicate the value of lived experience.
You've built knowledge through years of listening, learning, and leading. Complēre doesn't compete with that. It complements it, giving you relevant information to apply with your own insight and relationships.
Philanthropy is built on trust, not transactions.
That's why Complēre is built to protect sensitive data and respect the human side of funding. It helps you act with speed without compromising the care that drives lasting outcomes.
It's not about more data. It's about direction.
Complēre helps cut through the noise to deliver credible, relevant insight you can actually use so your next decision is faster, better informed, and more likely to lead to the results you've spent your career working toward.

Complēre — FAQ for Grantmakers
Complēre is a secure AI platform that lets program staff search, organize, and interact with a curated library of 5,000+ poverty-focused studies, meta-analyses, and benefit-cost metrics; pair those findings with proposals or site-visit materials; and generate decision-ready outputs in seconds. It was designed by foundation insiders to streamline text-heavy workflows that pull you away from grantees and strategic thinking.
General chatbots scrape the open web and can hallucinate or cite unreliable sources. Complēre's language model is locked to a vetted research corpus by default, with an optional "Web Search ON" toggle so you stay in control of source quality.
No. The interface is prompt-based—type plain-language questions (e.g., "Summarize this 20-page proposal and flag red-flags") or upload files and choose a workflow. On first login the system asks a few onboarding questions about your foundation so outputs arrive in the right voice and format.
| Current "Easy Button" (example) | Typical Use | Key Time-Saver |
|---|---|---|
| Program Evaluation Assistant | Summarize proposals, surface evidence, draft probing questions | Automates first-round review |
| Site-Visit Preparation | Upload proposal + materials → auto-generate visit agenda & inquiry list | Arrive with research-backed talking points |
| Strategic Planning Assistant | Live co-pilot during planning sessions; builds dashboards from uploads | Cuts prep time for all participants |
| RFP Writer / Award & Rejection Letters | Draft or rewrite docs to your tone & guidelines | Maintains consistency & saves hours |
| Bias Checker & Counterpoint Creator | Flag assumptions; offer alternative framings | Promotes equity and better decisions |
These are only the beginning. We're continuously adding new "easy buttons" across the full grantmaking workflow—ranging from quick helpers (auto-format board packets) to advanced engines (multi-year portfolio impact simulations). Have an idea? Email support@complere.ai and help shape our roadmap.
Studies are hand-curated from organizations that already use benefit-cost analysis to inform public and philanthropic budgets—including the Washington State Institute for Public Policy (widely considered the gold standard for ROI analysis), Constellation Fund, economists at the Federal Reserve, and leading universities. Each addition passes a quality screen before entering the corpus, and citations are returned with every answer.
Yes. Flip the Web Search ON/OFF switch at any time. Leaving it OFF guarantees the model references only the curated library; turning it ON lets the system pull from the wider internet and clearly labels those sources so you can validate them.
Complēre runs in a private cloud, encrypts files in transit, and never trains the model on your proprietary documents. Only colleagues you invite to a Project or Team Space can see your uploads or AI-generated outputs.
