Phoenix Copilot: your AI assistant for awards programs
Ask in plain English, get the real number back.
Type the way you’d talk to a colleague who knows awards programs inside out. Which reviewers are behind? How does this year’s pool compare with last? Phoenix Copilot goes and looks in your live data, every record, not a sample, and comes back with the answer and a report you can keep. Ask it to build the report or draft the email, and it shows you exactly what will happen before it happens. Nothing lands until you say so.
Meet Phoenix CopilotPhoenix supports the committee rather than replacing it. Every suggestion is a person’s to accept, adjust or ignore, and your data is never used to train AI models.
How we handle AI and your dataPhoenix Agents
AI agents, each ending with a person deciding.
Three read every application before a reviewer opens it, so the committee starts from a page that already makes sense. Three more work on a schedule: the Funding Scout Agent refreshes your funding matches every morning, the Donor Outreach Agent drafts a note to each donor who has gone quiet, and the Donor Digest Agent briefs the team each week. None of them sends to a donor or a funder.
AI agent · Summary
A plain-language picture of every applicant.
It reads the whole application first: who they are, what they are asking for, what stands out. The full application is one click below, so nothing is skipped.
AI agent · Anti-AI
Was this written by the applicant or by a chatbot?
It checks every essay and flags the ones worth a closer look, sentence by sentence. A data point for your committee, never a verdict. A person weighs it.
AI agent · Reviewer
A suggested answer to every review question.
Drawn straight from what the applicant wrote, with the reasoning shown. Reviewers accept, adjust or ignore. The score is always theirs.

Questions we get asked
What is CommunityForce?
CommunityForce is an AI-powered awards management platform for grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding. Founded in 2010, it has processed over 165 million applications and facilitated more than $569 million in awards for federal agencies, universities and foundations.
What types of awards does CommunityForce manage?
CommunityForce manages the complete lifecycle of grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding programs, from application collection and committee review through disbursement, post-award compliance, financial management and impact reporting.
Is CommunityForce compliant with federal regulations?
Yes. CommunityForce is FedRAMP and SOC 2 Type II certified, and compliant with Section 508 accessibility standards, FERPA and PCI-DSS. Grant programs are supported with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance requirements built in.
How does CommunityForce differ from other awards management software?
Most platforms stop at application collection and basic review. CommunityForce covers the full lifecycle natively: dynamic form building with conditional logic, Phoenix Agents that summarize applications, flag AI-written essays and suggest scores for reviewers, automated quantitative scoring, batch disbursements, post-award tracking, group applications, external recommender workflows, and enterprise reporting with Power BI integration.
Who uses CommunityForce?
More than 200 organizations run awards programs on CommunityForce, including federal agencies, state governments, universities, community foundations and private foundations. Past performance includes program delivery for the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense.
How does CommunityForce help us find and raise funding?
Find funding, under Discover, holds every US foundation from its IRS 990 filings, with what it actually gave, and every open federal program from Grants.gov, updated daily. Phoenix ranks them against your funding profile, explains why each one fits and reads the best fits' own websites for how to apply. Add a match to the pipeline and it moves through Researching, Writing, Submitted and Awarded or Declined beside the donors you are cultivating, and an award is recorded as a gift from the foundation, so gifts and grants are counted once. Campaigns, online giving, outreach and Fundraising insights run in the same system as the programs the money pays for.
How does CommunityForce use AI in awards management?
One intelligence, Phoenix, runs across the platform. Phoenix Copilot answers questions about your own programs and data in plain English. Phoenix Agents work on demand or on a schedule. Beside reviewers, the Summary Agent gives a plain-language picture of each applicant, the Anti-AI Agent flags essays that may be AI-written as a data point rather than a verdict, and the Reviewer Agent suggests answers reviewers accept, adjust or ignore. On a schedule, the Funding Scout Agent refreshes your funding matches every morning and drafts first letters to the best fits, the Donor Outreach Agent drafts notes to donors who have gone quiet into an approval queue, and the Donor Digest Agent briefs the development team each week. No agent sends to a donor or a funder. All of it supports the committee rather than replacing it, and your data is never used to train AI models.
