Free guides, templates, and AI help for nonprofit and NGO teams.
Good proposals, sound grant management, and safe AI use shouldn't depend on the size of your budget or your back office.
Browse the topicsNonprofits and NGOs that are stretched thin. Often a first grant, with no inherited playbook for proposals, compliance, or policies.
People who write the bid, manage the award, or close the books, usually alongside another job.
Running several funding streams with thin central support.
Small teams that need clear, plain-language guidance they can adapt without hiring a consultant.
Guides, templates, and worked examples for the everyday work of running a nonprofit or NGO: writing bids, managing awards, budgeting, safeguarding, and partnerships. Grounded in how the work is actually done, not academic theory.

OpenAid is a free hub of practical guides, templates, and AI help for nonprofit and NGO teams, from small community groups to international organizations. The name is simple: open means free to use, and aid means help for the people who do this work. It is run by Logic Lab LLC, and it is a hub only: nothing on it is for sale.
How we use AI: pages are written from primary sources and sector standards, then checked against them before they are published. AI helps draft, and people review every page. Templates are starting points, so adapt them to your organization and seek advice where the stakes are high.
OpenAid will never sell anything, run advertising, name funders, or ask you to sign up to read.
Design and proposal guidance built around the decisions your team actually makes, not a template you have to guess at.
Browse guides, templates, and AI prompts for free, from award start-up to close-out.
Plain-language guidance that helps the organizations you support write clearer proposals and manage awards well.
Free resources for organizations without a dedicated grants or compliance department: locally-led nonprofits, smaller INGOs, and mid-size teams.
