Your GrantGunner Account and Data Stay Yours
When you cancel GrantGunner Bespoke, your GrantGunner account and all the data within it remain yours. This is a core part of the service’s promise: no lock-in, and no loss of your work. Your profile information, documents, application drafts, and shortlisted opportunities all stay exactly where they are, accessible through your standard GrantGunner login.
GrantGunner’s privacy position is clear: your data is used to complete applications on your behalf, but it is never shared with other users or used to train third-party AI models. That commitment continues even after Bespoke ends. You retain full ownership of everything you’ve built in the platform.
Importantly, cancelling the managed service does not mean losing access to GrantGunner itself. You can continue using the self-serve platform with all its core features: the opportunity catalogue, AI-assisted drafting, pipeline management, deadline tracking, and calendar. Your pipeline stages and in-progress applications remain visible, and you can still submit and manage bids on your own.
If you had configured AI scouts or custom search criteria while on Bespoke, those settings persist in your account. The only thing that changes is the dedicated expert support - the platform stays active. For many organisations, this continuity makes the transition seamless: they keep their data, their tools, and their momentum, simply swapping managed execution for hands-on control.
In short, cancelling Bespoke is not a reset. Your account and data are yours, and GrantGunner’s self-serve tools remain available to you.
What Changes: Managed Services and Expert Support End
The clearest change when you cancel GrantGunner Bespoke is that the dedicated team’s hands-on support stops. That means no more expert scouting of new opportunities, no more professional bid writing or review, and no more deadline management or monthly pipeline reporting. The team will no longer be configuring your account or iterating your funding strategy after each round.
Crucially, the GrantGunner platform itself continues to work exactly as before. Your AI scouting and agent features remain active as part of your self-serve account - they’ll keep searching for relevant opportunities and helping you draft applications. The difference is that the fully managed, hands-off workflow you had with Bespoke ends. Instead of the team progressing bids on your behalf, you’ll take the wheel yourself: monitoring the pipeline, writing submissions, and tracking deadlines through the same Kanban-style view, calendar, and workspace you’re already familiar with.
Because there’s no long lock-in contract, you can switch back to self-serve or bring in external bid-writing support at any time. All your pipeline stages, drafts, documents, and preferences remain intact - nothing is deleted or reset. If you later decide to re-engage Bespoke, the service can pick up where you left off, building on the work already done.
Your Grant Pipeline and Application Progress Are Preserved
Your Grant Pipeline and Application Progress Are Preserved
One of the biggest worries when cancelling a managed service is losing the work you’ve already put in. With GrantGunner Bespoke, that’s simply not the case. Every part of your pipeline remains exactly where you left it.
Your Kanban-style pipeline view-showing opportunities at stages like processing, in review, submitting, submitted, awarded, or rejected-stays intact. All your draft applications, workspace documents, calendar deadlines, and feedback from previous submissions are retained. You can open any bid and pick it up from the exact point the Bespoke team left off, whether that’s a partially drafted application or a submission awaiting a final check.
This means you never have to start from scratch. If you want to bring in a new writer or handle bids yourself, everything is organised and ready to continue. The structure of your pipeline, the notes you’ve made, and the evidence you’ve attached are all preserved in your GrantGunner account. You maintain full control over your progress, so cancelling Bespoke doesn’t reset your momentum-it simply shifts who’s driving.
How to Transition Smoothly From Bespoke to Self-Serve
Here are some practical steps to ensure a smooth handover if you decide to cancel Bespoke:
Export or download important documents. Before cancelling, consider exporting any application drafts, budgets, or supporting files that you might want to keep offline. Your documents remain in your GrantGunner account, but having a local copy gives extra peace of mind.
Review your current pipeline and deadlines. Check each opportunity’s stage, next steps, and upcoming submission dates. The pipeline view will still show all your tracked opportunities, so note any deadlines you want to manage yourself.
Re-familiarise yourself with self-serve features. GrantGunner’s AI drafting tools, opportunity search, and calendar are still available. You can continue to use the AI scout to discover new grants and the workspace to prepare applications. If you previously relied on Bespoke for drafting, you might want to practise using the AI-assisted forms.
Contact support for a handover checklist. Reach out via the Bespoke enquiry page at bespoke.grantgunner.org to ask for any tips specific to your account. The team can provide guidance on transitioning workflows.
Remember you can re-engage Bespoke later. If your funding needs change or you want expert help again, you can restart the service. There’s no penalty for returning.
By taking these steps, you stay in full control of your grant pipeline and can confidently continue your funding journey on your own terms.
