Foundation Discovery
Query US foundation and IRS 990 grant intelligence from your agent while scoping nonprofit products, grant tools, or fundraising workflows.
Overview
Foundation Discovery is a MCP server for the Validate phase that surfaces US foundation and IRS 990 grant intelligence for nonprofit product scoping.
What is this MCP server?
- Foundation discovery and grant intelligence exposed as MCP tools
- Coverage of 174K+ US funders with IRS Form 990-derived data
- Remote streamable-http endpoint at kindora-mcp.azurewebsites.net
- Kindora website and GitHub kindora-mcp subfolder for integration docs
- 174K+ US funders referenced in server description
- IRS Form 990 data sources cited
- Registry version 0.1.0 with remote MCP at kindora-mcp.azurewebsites.net
What problem does it solve?
You are building for nonprofits but lack fast, structured access to who funds what, so validation stalls on manual 990 research.
Who is it for?
Builders shipping grant-discovery, fundraising ops, or nonprofit CRM features who need agent-queryable US funder coverage during validation.
Skip if: Commercial SaaS with no nonprofit or grant use case, or teams that need non-US-only philanthropy data without US 990 alignment.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After connecting the remote MCP server, your agent can pull funder and grant context into scope docs, pitch outlines, and feature priorities grounded in real US foundation data.
- Agent-accessible US funder and grant intelligence queries
- Validation notes tying product scope to real foundation coverage
- Faster research loops versus manual 990 browsing
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Grant and funder discovery answers whether a nonprofit-focused idea has reachable funding paths before you commit engineering to a full build. Scope work for social-impact builders needs concrete funder lists and 990-backed signals, not generic market sizing alone.
How it compares
Specialized grant and 990 data MCP, not a generic web-search skill or payment integration.
