Houston Endowment. Written grant reports took grantees several hours each, and one grantee files about 40 reports a year. Houston Endowment replaced them with recorded calls for its civic engagement program, using Zoom AI tools to transcribe them and AI to help analyze them. Calls ran 45 to 90 minutes, and the foundation is extending oral reporting to other programs, including arts and culture. Staff review the transcripts and correct errors.
