In short
The Save Our Seas Foundation requires Keystone Grant applications to be written by the applicant. Applicants may use tools that check their writing, such as Grammarly or DeepL. The foundation will not accept applications where generative tools such as ChatGPT created the text.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
- For the Keystone Grant, applicants may use tools to check their writing, such as Grammarly or DeepL. The foundation says this is optional and that it does not judge applications on the quality of their English. It will not accept any application where a generative tool such as ChatGPT created the text. [1]
- Applicants must tick a box to confirm they will not use generative AI tools to create the answers to any field in the application. [1]
For reviewers
Save Our Seas Foundation has published no rules for reviewers.

Application Guidelines: Keystone Grant - Stage 1 Form (opens in a new tab)
It is acceptable to use tools to check what you've written (e.g. Grammarly, Deepl), but only if you feel the need - again, we will not judge applications on the quality of their English. However, we will not accept any applications where any generative tools (e.g. ChatGPT) have been used to create the text for you.
By checking the box below and continuing, you confirm that you will not use any generative AI tools to create the answers to any of the fields in this application.
