Kindora Funder Discovery

Browse NTEE (National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities) classification codes. NTEE codes are used to classify nonprofit organizations by their primary purpose. This tool helps you find the right NTEE code for searching or understanding a foundation's focus area.

get_ntee_codes

View grants made by a funder across IRS, web-extracted, and registry records. Merges five stores. **(1) IRS 990-PF filings** — structured grant lines from the ~143K US private foundations that file 990s, keyed by EIN. **(2) Web-extracted grant records** — our enrichment pipeline crawls funder websites and an LLM extracts their grant lists. This second store covers ~15K additional US foundations AND ~17K non-990 funders (European foundations, US community foundations, DAFs, corporate giving programs). **(3) 360Giving** UK GrantNav rows, **(4) CRA T3010** Canadian rows, and **(5) ACRI** Italian banking-foundation erogazioni are structured registry sources with original-currency amounts preserved. Use this for ANY funder when the user asks about grants given, including European funders without an EIN (pass ``funder_id`` instead of ``ein``). Each row in the response carries a ``source`` field (``"990"`` for IRS data, ``"discovered_web"`` for crawled, plus ``"360giving"``, ``"t3010"``, and ``"acri"`` for structured registries). When web-extracted rows for a funder lack captured amounts (common for European funders that publish PDFs rather than open data), the response includes an ``amount_coverage_note`` in ``data_quality`` — surface that caveat in your reply. Note: ``recipient_country`` reflects the recipient organization's HQ country (where the grantee is registered), not necessarily where the program work is implemented.

get_foundation_grants

Get detailed profile information for a specific funder. Polymorphic identifier — pass ``ein`` for US 990 foundations OR ``funder_id`` (bare UUID / ``n9f:<uuid>``) for non-990 funders such as European, UK 360Giving, and Canadian CRA T3010 funders. ``search_funders`` returns both fields on every hit, so the caller can hand either one back here. At least one identifier must be supplied. Use this after searching for funders to get detailed information about a specific one.

get_funder_profile

Get comprehensive giving statistics for a funder. This tool calculates aggregate statistics about a funder's grantmaking from IRS 990-PF data, web-extracted grant records, 360Giving rows, CRA T3010 rows, and ACRI rows. It provides lifetime totals, focus areas, geographic distribution, and year-over-year trends. Pass ``ein`` for US 990 foundations, or ``funder_id`` (bare UUID / ``n9f:<uuid>``) for non-990 funders.

get_funder_stats

Get IRS 990 filing summary and financial trends for a foundation. This tool retrieves IRS 990 filing data (Form 990 or 990-PF) for a foundation, showing financial information over time. It calculates year-over-year trends for assets, grants, and revenue.

list_tools

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.
