- search_funders (Search Grantmakers) - Look up grantmaking organizations by name, topic, or location.

This tool searches 174K+ grantmaking organizations from IRS data using
organization names plus grant-purpose/topic signals. Use it when you know
the funder's name, want aligned funders for a cause area, or want to browse
by location/size/NTEE code. Multi-word searches are ranked by relevance;
simple browse/name fallback results are ordered by total assets.

IMPORTANT: Use search_open_grants when the user needs active grant programs
or RFPs. search_funders is for finding aligned grantmakers, including ones
that may fund by relationship, LOI, or annual cycle rather than a live call.

Args:
    query: Search term for a funder name or cause-area phrase.
           Example: "Ford Foundation", "global health", "community foundation"
           Topic searches work best with 2+ words.
    state: Two-letter US state code to filter by funder HQ location.
           Example: "CA", "NY", "TX"
    city: City name to filter by (case-insensitive).
           Example: "San Francisco", "New York"
    ntee_code: NTEE classification code to filter by.
           Example: "A20" (Arts Organizations), "B" (Education), "E" (Health)
    min_assets: Minimum total assets filter in dollars.
           Example: 10000000 (foundations with $10M+ assets)
    max_assets: Maximum total assets filter in dollars.
           Example: 100000000 (foundations with up to $100M assets)
    has_er_grants: Filter to foundations that make expenditure responsibility grants
           (grants to non-501(c)(3) entities like PBCs, for-profits, and foreign orgs).
           Set to True to find only ER-active funders.
    funder_type: Optional canonical funder_type to include. Examples:
           "community_foundation", "family_foundation", "corporate_foundation",
           "private_operating", "operating_nonprofit", "independent_foundation". Use this to narrow to
           a specific kind of grantmaker.
    exclude_funder_types: Optional list of canonical funder_type codes to exclude
           from results. Useful for hiding operating nonprofits that surface
           with large "annual_grants" but are not actually grantmakers — e.g.,
           exclude_funder_types=["operating_nonprofit"] hides PATH and similar
           operating organizations.
    grantee_country_codes: Optional list of FIPS 10-4 country codes
           (e.g., "UK" for United Kingdom, "IN" for India, "KE" for Kenya,
           "SF" for South Africa) to restrict to funders whose grantees are
           located in those countries. Use this when the user is asking
           for funders that move money into a specific non-US geography.
           Country here is the grantee's HQ country, derived from
           foundation_grants. When set, the search is forced through the
           hybrid path; the ILIKE-only name-match path cannot filter by
           country. Distinct from `state`, which filters by the funder's
           own US HQ.
    country: Optional HQ country name (or list of names) to restrict to
           funders headquartered in those countries (e.g., "Germany",
           ["United States", "Canada"]). Distinct from
           `grantee_country_codes` (where the funder's grants land) and
           from `state` (US state of HQ). Use when the user asks for
           funders based in a specific country — e.g. "European-headquartered
           foundations" → country=["Germany","Spain","United Kingdom",
           "Switzerland","Netherlands","France"]. US foundations are
           included only when "United States" (or "USA") is in the list,
           or when the param is omitted.
    limit: Maximum number of results to return.
           Default: 20, Maximum: 50

Returns:
    Dictionary containing:
    - results: List of matching foundations with ein, name, city, state,
              total_assets, annual_grants, website_url, has_er_grants, has_pris,
              funder_type (when populated), topic_match_count (when query
              takes the hybrid topic-search path — see below)
    - total_returned: Number of results returned
    - query_params: The search parameters used
    - note: Helpful context about the results

    topic_match_count is the number of distinct grant-purpose strings
    under this funder that matched the FTS query. It surfaces only on
    topical searches (multi-word queries that route to the hybrid path)
    and only for 990-filer rows; ILIKE-only and non-990 rows omit the
    field. Rule of thumb:
      - topic_match_count == 1 → single tangential grant, often noise
        (e.g. a credit-union foundation surfacing for "telemedicine"
        because of one passing-mention grant)
      - topic_match_count >= 3 → substantive topical coverage

Examples:
    search_funders(query="community foundation", state="CA")
    search_funders(query="global health", min_assets=100000000)
    search_funders(ntee_code="E", min_assets=50000000)
    search_funders(state="NY", city="New York", limit=10)
    search_funders(has_er_grants=True, state="CA")
    search_funders(funder_type="community_foundation", state="CA")
    search_funders(query="PATH", exclude_funder_types=["operating_nonprofit"])
    search_funders(query="global health", grantee_country_codes=["IN"])
    search_funders(query="climate resilience", grantee_country_codes=["KE", "SF"])
    search_funders(query="youth education", country="Germany")
    search_funders(country=["Germany","Spain","Netherlands"]) Endpoint: https://kindora-mcp.azurewebsites.net/mcp/

- get_foundation_grants (Get Foundation Grants) - View grants made by a foundation from IRS 990-PF filings.

This tool retrieves individual grants made by a private foundation, showing
recipient organizations, amounts, and purposes. Results are ordered by
grant amount (largest first) and include aggregate statistics. Each grant
also reports the recipient's country and US state when populated, so you
can answer questions like "show me Gates grants to India recipients" or
"show me Gates grants whose purpose mentions vaccines".

Note: recipient_country reflects the recipient organization's HQ country
(where the grantee is registered), not necessarily where program work is
implemented.

Args:
    ein: Foundation EIN (9 digits). Can include hyphens (e.g., "94-3136777")
         or be provided as digits only (e.g., "943136777").
    year: Optional filing year to filter by (e.g., 2023).
          If not provided, returns grants from all available years.
    ntee_code: Optional NTEE code to filter recipient organizations.
          Example: "B41" (Higher Education), "E" (Health).
          Use get_ntee_codes to browse available codes.
    recipient_country: Optional recipient country filter. Use ISO
          3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g., "CH" Switzerland, "ZA" South
          Africa, "NG" Nigeria, "IN" India). Legacy FIPS 10-4 codes
          ("SZ", "SF", "NI") are also accepted for back-compat;
          output codes are emitted in ISO 3166.
    recipient_state: Optional 2-letter US state code to filter by
          recipient state (e.g., "CA", "NY").
    purpose_keyword: Optional case-insensitive substring to match against
          the grant_purpose field. Useful for narrowing to a topic when
          recipient NTEE code is too coarse — e.g., purpose_keyword="vaccine"
          surfaces Gates grants whose purpose text mentions vaccines, even
          when the recipient is classified outside health (universities,
          think tanks, etc.).
    limit: Maximum number of grants to return.

- search_open_grants (Search Open Grants) - Search open grant opportunities from Kindora's active foundation-program corpus and federal government grants.

Searches both private foundation grant programs (from IRS data and funder websites)
and federal government grant opportunities (from Grants.gov). Uses full-text search
with natural language understanding — queries are parsed into individual terms with
stemming, so "youth after school programs" matches programs about youth, after-school,
and programming even if those exact words don't appear together.

Search covers program names, descriptions, focus areas, beneficiary types, and
geographic focus fields. Use the state parameter to focus on geographically relevant
opportunities.

Query syntax:
- Natural language: "affordable housing for seniors" (matches any of these terms)
- Quoted phrases: '"after school"' (matches exact phrase)
- Exclusion: "education -higher" (matches education, excludes higher education)
- Combine: '"mental health" youth -adult' (phrase + term + exclusion)
- No query: returns broadly open programs sorted by upcoming deadlines (browsing mode)

Args:
    query: Natural language search query. Searches across program names, descriptions,
           focus areas, beneficiary types, and geographic focus. Supports quoted phrases
           for exact matching and -term for exclusion.
           Example: "youth outdoor education", "affordable housing", "STEM education for girls",
                    "food bank hunger", "climate change environment", "domestic violence women"
    focus_area: Filter foundation programs by focus area (matches values in focus_areas array).
           Example: "Education", "Health", "Environment"
    agency: Filter government grants by agency name (case-insensitive).
           Example: "Department of Education", "NSF", "NIH"
    state: Two-letter US state code to filter by geographic relevance.
           Returns programs focused on that state plus nationally available programs.
           Example: "CA", "NY", "TX"
    country: Country name for non-US geographic filtering. Returns programs
           whose geographic_focus is tagged for that country plus any tagged
           Global / International / Worldwide. Use this instead of state for
           international queries — passing "India" via state would error
           because state requires a US code. Mixing state with a non-US
           country is rejected.
           Example: "India", "Kenya", "Mexico", "Global"
    deadline_days: How far ahead to search for deadlines, in days.
           Default: 90 (3 months). Maximum: 365 (1 year).
           Rolling/always-open programs are always included regardless.
    min_award: Minimum grant size filter in dollars.
           Example: 50000 (grants of $50K+)
    max_award: Maximum grant size filter in dollars.
           Example: 500000 (grants up to $500K)
    nonprofit_only: Only show nonprofit-eligible government grants.
           Default: True
    source: Filter by grant source type.
           Options: "foundation" (private foundation programs only),
                    "government" (federal grants only),
                    or omit for both sources combined.
           PREFER omitting this — the foundation corpus is much larger, and
           filtering to government-only often returns few or zero results.
    limit: Maximum number of results to return.
           Default: 20, Maximum: 50

Returns:
    Dictionary containing:
    - results: List of open grant opportunities with:
      - source: "foundation" or "government"
      - title: Program or grant name
      - description: Brief description
      - funder_name: Foundation name or government agency
      - funder_ein: Foundation EIN (null for government)
      - funder_state: Foundation's state (null for government)
      - deadline: Date string, "Rolling", "LOI Open", or "Open"
      - deadline_type: "specific_date", "rolling", "loi_open", "always_open", "annual_cycle"
      - days_until_close: Days until deadline (null for rolling)
      - grant_range: Formatted grant size range (e.g., "$50,000 - $500,000")
      - focus_areas: List of focus areas
      - geographic_focus: Geographic eligibility
      - application_url: Where to apply
    - total_returned: Number of results
    - query_params: Search parameters used
    - summary: Counts by source, urgent deadlines, and rolling programs
    - note: Helpful context about the results

Tips for effective searches:
    - Combine state + query for geographically targeted results
    - If the user gives a specific foundation name, use search_funders first
    - Use natural language — describe what you're looking for in plain terms
    - Try multiple specific searches rather than one broad search
    - Use source="foundation" for private grants with rolling/LOI deadlines
    - Omit query entirely to browse open programs by upcoming deadline

IMPORTANT — presenting results to users:
    - Focus on what was found, not what wasn't. Present results positively.
    - Do NOT comment on corpus size, data limitations, or coverage gaps.
    - If few results are returned, suggest trying related keywords or using
      search_funders to find aligned foundations — many accept unsolicited
      inquiries or run annual grant cycles that may not have an open window
      right now. Frame this as "here are additional prospects to explore"
      not "the search didn't find enough."
    - Many excellent funders don't post public open calls — they fund through
      relationships, LOIs, and nominations. Use search_funders and
      get_funder_profile to identify these funders as proactive prospects.

Examples:
    search_open_grants(query="youth outdoor education", state="CA")
    search_open_grants(query="affordable housing", state="NY", source="foundation")
    search_open_grants(query="STEM education for girls", state="TX")
    search_open_grants(query="food bank hunger", min_award=10000)
    search_open_grants(query="mental health services", state="CA")
    search_open_grants(query="climate change environment", source="foundation")
    search_open_grants(source="government", nonprofit_only=True, state="NY")

  - grantmaking: Program officers, grants managers, RFP reviewers
  - program_leadership: VP Programs, Chief Program Officer, Program
    Director (cause-area)
  - executive_leadership: CEO, President, Executive Director at a
    foundation or community foundation
  - philanthropy_operations: Foundation finance/HR/IT/COO
  - program_support: Program associates, M&E officers, learning
    officers, program coordinators
  - development_for_grantmaking: Major gifts officers and development
    roles at community foundations and other regranting entities
    (NOT university or hospital development for the parent's
    operations)
  - philanthropy_communications: Foundation comms staff
  - philanthropy_strategy: Chief Strategy Officer, impact officer,
    equity & inclusion at a foundation

What's excluded by design: clinical/medical, retail, academic
teaching, university advancement for the university itself,
hospital fundraising for hospital ops, construction/facilities.

Args:
    query: Keyword search on job title (case-insensitive substring).
        Examples: "program officer", "grants manager", "CEO",
        "communications director".
    state: 2-letter US state code (e.g., "CA", "NY"). Uses a broad SQL
        prefilter plus an exact token-aware post-filter against the
        location field.
    funder_ein: Restrict to one funder by EIN (9 digits, optional
        prefixes/dashes accepted).
    funder_eins: Restrict to a LIST of funder EINs (up to 100). The
        recommended compositional pattern is search_funders →
        search_funder_jobs(funder_eins=[...]) for cause-area searches
        (climate, racial equity, youth, etc.) where the cause isn't
        captured by the 8 role-family categories.
    category: One of the 8 philanthropy categories above.
    employment_type: full-time | part-time | contract | internship |
        fellowship | temporary.
    remote: remote | hybrid | on-site.
    posted_within_days: Recency window. Rows with NULL posted_at
        (common for HTML-scraped postings) are always kept.
        Default 365.
    limit: Max results (1-50). Default 20.

Returns:
    Dictionary with `results` (list of jobs — title, funder_name,
    funder_ein, funder_kindora_url, location, remote_status,
    employment_type, philanthropy_category, posted_at,
    days_since_posted, apply_url, source), `total_returned`,
    `summary` (category_breakdown + remote_breakdown +
    posted_within_30_days), `query_params`, and `note`.

Examples:
    search_funder_jobs(query="program officer")
    search_funder_jobs(category="grantmaking", state="NY")
    search_funder_jobs(category="executive_leadership", remote="remote")
    search_funder_jobs(funder_ein="131684331")  # Ford Foundation only
    search_funder_jobs(employment_type="fellowship")
    search_funder_jobs()  # Browse recent philanthropy jobs

    # Cause-area pattern (two-step composition):
    # Step 1: eins = search_funders(query="climate")["results"][:30].pluck("ein")
    # Step 2:
    search_funder_jobs(funder_eins=eins, category="grantmaking")

- get_funder_stats (Get Funder Statistics) - Get comprehensive giving statistics for a foundation.

This tool calculates aggregate statistics about a foundation's grantmaking
from IRS 990-PF data. It provides lifetime totals, focus areas, geographic
distribution, and year-over-year trends.

Args:
    ein: Foundation EIN (9 digits). Can include hyphens (e.g., "94-3136777")
         or be provided as digits only (e.g., "943136777").

Returns:
    Dictionary containing:
    - ein: The normalized 9-digit EIN
    - foundation_name: Foundation name if found
    - giving_stats: Aggregate giving statistics:
      - total_grants: Total number of grants made
      - total_amount: Total dollars granted (raw and formatted)
      - average_grant: Mean grant size (raw and formatted)
      - median_grant: Median grant size (raw and formatted)
      - min_grant/max_grant: Range of grant sizes
    - focus_areas: NTEE code distribution showing:
      - top_ntee_codes: Top 10 categories funded with counts and amounts
      - total_ntee_codes_funded: Number of unique categories
    - geographic_distribution: Where grants went:
      - states: Top 10 US states by grant count. Each entry includes
        grant_count, total_amount, and avg_grant_amount (per-grant mean
        within that state).
      - countries: Top 10 recipient-HQ countries by grant count,
        keyed by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. "CH" Switzerland,
        "ZA" South Africa, "NG" Nigeria). Each entry includes
        grant_count, total_amount, and avg_grant_amount — the
        per-country mean is prospect-targeting signal: a country
        with markedly higher avg than the US recipient bucket
        often indicates a different funding pattern (large global
        health intermediaries, multi-year capacity grants, etc.).
        Reflects recipient HQ, NOT implementation geography — many
        globally operating grantees are HQ'd in the US.
      - regions: Summary by US Census region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West)
      - non_us_recipient_pct: Percentage of grants (with country populated)
        that went to non-US-headquartered recipients
      - total_states_funded: Number of unique states
      - total_countries_funded: Number of unique recipient-HQ countries
    - yearly_breakdown: Year-by-year giving history:
      - Each year shows grant count, total amount, and average grant
    - year_over_year_trends: Trend analysis:
      - trend_direction: "increasing", "decreasing", or "stable"
      - yoy_changes: Detailed changes between consecutive years
    - data_quality: Information about data completeness:
      - years_of_data: How many years of grant data exist
      - year_range: Earliest and latest years in data
      - completeness: Percentage of grants with amounts, NTEE codes,
        states, and countries
