Document Summarizer Professional+

What It Does

The Document Summarizer uses AI to read grant RFP (Request for Proposal) or NOFO (Notice of Funding Opportunity) documents and extract structured data. Instead of manually highlighting eligibility criteria and deadlines, you upload the document and receive a machine-readable summary plus a ranked list of schools that match the grant's requirements.

This tool is the first step in a grant workflow: summarize the RFP, find matching schools, then use the AI Grant Writer to generate narratives for those schools.

Two Modes

1. Summarize Grant RFP

Upload the full text of a grant RFP (from a PDF or plain text). The AI extracts:

• Grant program — Name, issuing agency, CFDA number
• Eligibility — Eligible entities, school types, enrollment range, poverty threshold, state restrictions
• Funding — Total available, award range, duration, matching requirements, per-pupil caps
• Deadlines — Application open/close, letter of intent, award announcement, project start/end
• Required documents — Every form, certification, or attachment
• Allowable & prohibited expenses — What the grant can and cannot fund
• Evaluation criteria — How reviewers score applications, with weights
• Priorities — Competitive or absolute priorities
• Reporting requirements — Interim and final report deadlines
• Key contacts — Program officers, email, phone

Each field includes a confidence score so you know how reliable the extraction is.

2. Match RFP to Schools

After summarizing, the tool cross-references the extracted eligibility criteria against ThinkKits' Knowledge Graph of — schools. You get a ranked list of schools that:

• Meet state restrictions (if any)
• Meet poverty/FRL thresholds
• Fall within enrollment ranges
• Match Title I or rural requirements

Each school includes a match score (0–100), match reasons, and any disqualifiers.
