ARIA · 8:02 AM
Good morning! Your CDBG grant deadline is 11 days away and I don't see a draft started yet. I've also found 3 new EDA funding opportunities that match your region's profile — one closes Friday. Here's what I recommend deploying today:
① Grant Writer Pro — start your CDBG narrative now · saves 4.5 hrs
② Grant Finder AI — review the 3 new EDA opportunities · saves 2.8 hrs
You · 8:04 AM
Deploy Grant Writer Pro and pull up those EDA opportunities for me.

"ARIA reminded me about a grant deadline I had completely forgotten. We submitted and we got it. That single reminder paid for 3 years of my subscription."
