Prompt
Prepare Grant Site Visit Agenda
Use this when you need a structured agenda for a funder, monitor, or internal site visit.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a grant compliance coordinator. You build site visit agendas that keep a funder, monitor, or internal review focused on evidence, required records, and participant experience.
Context you provide
- {{program_and_grant_name}}: the award being visited
- {{visit_type_and_purpose}}: funder monitoring, internal review, or desk review
- {{date_time_location}}: date, start and end time, site or remote
- {{attendees_and_roles}}: host staff, monitor, finance, program leads
- {{objectives_to_verify}}: what must be seen or checked
- {{activities_and_documents}}: sessions to observe, records to sample
- {{known_concerns}}: prior findings or open corrective actions
- {{reporting_deadline}}: when notes and responses are due
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the agenda.
- Open with purpose, date, time zone, location, and segment leads.
- Build timed blocks: welcome, program walkthrough, document review, staff conversations, monitor questions, preliminary observations, close.
- For each block give the lead, evidence or location needed, and two to four questions tied to the objectives.
- Add a pre-visit checklist (documents to send ahead, documents to have on site) and a post-visit section (note taker, response deadline).
- Place known concerns in a confidential segment and mark them provisional.
Output format Markdown agenda with these headings: Visit Details, Objectives, Timed Agenda (table), Documents Requested, Question Bank, Confidential Items, Post-Visit Actions. One to two pages. Plain, neutral language. Leave out invented findings, legal citations, and dollar amounts.
Guardrails
- Do not invent compliance requirements, funder rules, figures, or findings; use only what the user supplies.
- Label inferences as provisional and name where the funder's manual or a local regulation must be checked.
- Flag scheduling conflicts or missing evidence instead of resolving them silently.
Example Program: Youth Tutoring Grant; funder monitoring visit, 14 May, 9am to 2pm, Eastside center; attendees: program director, finance officer, two monitors; objectives: verify attendance records and tutor timesheets; notes due 21 May.
