In short
The Creative Engagement program guidelines from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) let applicants use generative AI when preparing grant applications. Everything submitted must be accurate and truthful, and nothing may be fabricated. Panelists may not put application materials into external generative AI tools. Whether AI was used, or seems to have been used, should have no bearing on a panelist's assessment.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.

Regardless of the tools used, applicants are responsible for ensuring that all information submitted is accurate, truthful, and appropriately represents the proposed work.

The use or perceived use of AI should not influence a panelist’s assessment of an application. Panelists may not upload, enter, or otherwise provide LMCC application materials or applicant information to external generative AI tools as part of the review process.
